Porto vs PSV referee analysis ends on one missed yellow card

Pedro Henriques' review of FC Porto vs PSV Eindhoven is pretty clear. He says Daniel Siebert handled the major penalty calls correctly, but missed a yellow card when Oskar Pietuszewski stamped on Gabri Veiga's foot and FC Porto were still playing on after the attack.

The penalty calls Siebert got right

At 28', Till made only slight contact on Pietuszewski, so no penalty was given. Henriques also backed the decision at 62', when Matej Kovar came out at Pepê's feet inside the area and again no penalty was awarded. At 90+4', Borja Sainz handled the ball before the late effort that was correctly ruled out.

Henriques gave Siebert a 6 overall, which fits a solid night with one clear gap rather than a messy performance from start to finish. The first major disciplinary flashpoint came earlier, when PSV Eindhoven's Lutsharel Geertruida was booked in the 39th minute for the foul on Gabri Veiga.

The booking that was missed

The real complaint sits at 49' and 51'. At 49', Bednarek was injured and complaining about his foot after the Porto attack was allowed to continue. Two minutes later, Henriques said Mijnans should have been booked for a very negligent and borderline stamp on Bednarek.

Speaking to A Bola, Henriques said: "The most doubtful move was well analyzed; good refereeing, but one yellow card was left unshown." He added: "The failure to show a yellow card, very evident and with no possible management."

PSV did eventually receive another booking, with Mauro Júnior shown yellow in the 75th minute, and Siebert allowed five minutes at the end. The big spot-kick calls held up, but the 51st-minute stamp should have produced a card and did not.
