A challenging game, that could have got nasty about 35 mins into the second half, but I worked hard to keep my match control and establish myself as the boss.
Should have booked yellow (away) 10 for a bad foul outside the box after circa 25 minutes, but I let him work me, by delaying coming over, then being all apologetic etc. and I didn’t give the card. Should have, lesson learned.
Bit high tempo after the cards for about 5 mins, but I worked hard to bring the temperature back down.
Pen was a definite, but not deliberate, penalty. I was in a good position to see it and, other than the two players involved, and perhaps the keeper, I was closest to the play (it stemmed from a break away), all aiding my credibility in giving the decision.
Really enjoyed the challenge – and mastery – of the game.
