Beşiktaş VP Critiques Referee Over Osimhen's Non-Punishment
In the Istanbul derby on Saturday night, Galatasaray defeated Beşiktaş 1-0, with Victor Osimhen's performance coming under scrutiny. Beşiktaş vice president Hakan Daltaban expressed his discontent with the referee's decision not to issue a second yellow card to Osimhen after a 41st-minute incident where he deliberately kicked the ball away following a stoppage in play.
Daltaban stated that he was surprised Osimhen was not punished, especially since the referee had already issued a yellow card to him earlier in the match. The game saw Beşiktaş's Leroi San sent off in the 62nd minute for a second bookable offense, leaving the team with ten men.
Daltaban, speaking on behalf of the club, emphasized that the referee's decision was incorrect and highlighted the importance of fair officiating in such crucial matches.
