On the 9th, there is still a controversy over the decision surrounding the final goal of Ulsan-Jeju. Both teams are arguing for the opposite argument over whether Ulsan’s goal was on -side.
27 minutes in the second half. Ulsan Cross was in front of Jeju defender and flowed in front of the goal. Ulsan Rubicson shot with his right foot, and Jeju goalkeeper Kim Dong -jun hit his hand. When the ball floated into the air and headed back to the goal, Kim Dong -joon tried to stop it, and at this moment Ulsan Eric tried to slide. The ball went inside the goal.

At this time, the assistant declared offside. Eric, who was offside position, had touched the ball and passed the goal line, or it might have been judged that Eric in the offside position had influenced the goalkeeper’s play. As a VAR reading, the referee concluded that Rubicson’s shooting crossed the goal line before Eric touched it.

Jeju Kim Hak -bum appealed strongly. Kim said, “The point is whether Eric was willing to play or not,” he said. Kim added, “If Eric has stopped, it may have been hit by Kim Dong -joon before the ball is over,” he added. “If you look at the photos, videos, etc.
Below is the relevant offside regulations. The following four cases correspond to ‘interfering with an opponent by’ and declaring as off -side.
① In case of intercepting the opponent’s vision, interfering with the ability to play or play the ball
② When competing directly with the other party with the ball
③ If the behavior affects the other party by trying to play the ball nearby.
④ If the other person does a clear behavior that affects the ability to play the ball
If Eric has sliding for the purpose of scoring the goal, and the process affects the goalkeeper response, this is in line with the offside declaration requirements. However, the referee declared a goal that he had already crossed the goal line before the ball was hit by Eric’s feet. The lack of the decision process also increased controversy. Considering that the assistant declared offside, the referee had to review onfield. The passing line is the area of assistant, and the VAR judges can be seen better, but it is necessary to take a comprehensive judgment and take responsibility for the entire decision. If the referee had been reviewed, another decision would have been made. Even if you have made a diarrhea, the persuasion would have been much higher than now.
Offsides are the hardest parts of football. In addition, in the past, the offside regulations changed because they were offside positions, but now they are in the offside position, and after seeing the play and drawing the final conclusion. The changed offside core is simple.
“If you don’t touch the ball, it’s off -side if you cover your opponent’s vision or affect the defense and goalkeeper movement.
This controversy originated from the judges’ confusion between ‘passing the goal line’ and ‘offside’. The goal line must be considered only after the onside is clear. This means that you can discuss the goal only if there is no problem with the play until the ball goes over the goal line. If the previous play is wrong, it is right to declare it as a blatant even if the ball goes beyond the goal line.
