What is your opinion about that videocheck at 12/11 – 13/11 ??
It seems to me that there is no block touch at all by the way… I was not against Kazan but I had never seen such a quick decision about a controversial challenge.

the same happened in the game fenerbahce against scandicci in women champions league. the challenge shows ‘touch’ on the fingers but the video proved that didnt touch. sometimes i dont really agree with the challenge especially block touch
