Red card debate in referee review
Contentious incidents from three Süper Lig matches were covered in the referee review. The review stated that in some incidents the referee's decision was correct, while in others a red card or a penalty was expected.

In the match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, Fenerbahçe's number 6 challenged his opponent in the incident where Batrakov expected a penalty. According to the review, the contact was light, and the Galatasaray player easily dropped to the ground. The expected decision, play on with no penalty, was recorded.
In the same match, it was stated that Kerem covering his mouth while speaking could be considered unsportsmanlike. However, it was recorded that a red card requires an insult, that there was no red card offence in this incident, and that the referee's decision was correct.
In the match between Kasımpaşa and Beşiktaş, it was reported that after an aerial duel between Arous and Vlahovic, Arous made contact with Vlahovic's face with his right hand. The contact was described as above a light level, and the expected decision for serious foul play was a red card. In the incident where Murillo expected a red card, it was stated that the Beşiktaş player made an additional movement with his leg, making contact with his opponent's groin area with the sole of his foot. In this incident, the expected decision was a red card for the Beşiktaş player.
In the Çaykur Rize and Trabzonspor match, the moment when Rize expected a penalty was also reviewed. It was recorded that the ball bounced off a defender's leg and struck the right arm in its natural position, that not every contact between a hand and the ball is an offence, and that any infringement took place outside the penalty area. The review stated that the decision to play on was correct.
