Adrian Porumboiu contradicts the verdict from the studio, during the penalty phase requested by Dinamo with Farul

What happened? In the 38th minute, at 1-0 for the “sailors”, Musi broke into the center from the left, about 15 meters from the Faralu goal. Maftei, the right back, chased the Dinamo winger and tried to dispossess him.

He lightly touched Musi, he fell, asking for a penalty, but Horațiu Feșnic was not impressed. The referee called Alexandru Musi for diving and showed him a yellow card. Sebastian Colțescu, the referee in the VAR room, confirmed the decision of the “central”.

Contacted by Gazeta Sporturilor, the former referee Adrian Porumboiu was right with the “central” and believes that Musi was faking.

“It's faking. How to give a penalty?! No way! The referee made the right decision. Musi is a player I like, but he saw that he was high and dived. It's a touch, but he amplified the fall. The way he fell told the referee that it was faking. It can't be a penalty! It is something, but there is no question of 11 meters.

The decision to dictate simulation and yellow is the right one. And let's not forget that we are talking about an experienced referee, a very good referee. Maybe if he would have fallen differently, without amplifying the fall and the contact…”, said Adrian Porumboiu, for GSP.ro.

Dinamo's legends thought it was a penalty

At the break, Florin Prunea and Ionel Danciunescu, legends of Dinamo, opined in the studio that Zeljko Kopic's team should have received a shot from 11 meters when Maftei and Musi made contact.

“Penalty. You're not allowed to fake something like that. And he also gets a yellow,” he said Ionel Danciulescuat Digi Sport 1. Florin Prunea he added: “It's a penalty for Dinamo, it's not a simulation. It's an obstacle, a clear penalty.”
