Small description of the match (extra-ordinary incidents etc.):The last matchday of Group A in this FIFA Confederations Cup 2013. The match wasplayed in Belo Horizonte at Estádio Mineirão, in front of an attendance of 52,690. Bothteams were already eliminated from the tournament, having lost all the previous matches.So, a match without a real interest, but at the end it was well played by both teams. Thereferee appointed was Felix Brych from Germany, at his first game in this tournament.Howard Webb worked as fourth official. The match in its progress presented severalinteresting situation, being anyway not that intensive and difficult for the referee.




Referee

Crucial Decisions (refer to penalty kicks, sending-off situations etc.)

Minute and Description of the Scene / Assessment of the referee’s decision

49’ Penalty appeal by Mexico. After a shot by Hernandez (MEX), Kurihara (MEX)hits the ball with his hand in area. The decision to consider it as unintentional iscorrect because the arms of the defender are close to body.

90’+1 Penalty whistled in favor of Mexico. Hernandez (MEX) falls down in area after asoft contact with the opponent. A hand on the shoulder made him fall down whilerunning. The call must be evaluated as soft, anyway not a clear mistake, stillacceptable.

Basic Observations (refer to the general application of the LotG, highlight thereferee’s tactical approach, personality, match control, management of the teamsand players, teamwork etc.).Please deploy short but precise and detailed sentences!

Positive Points

1. Control of the game and communication with players.

2. Alertness in evaluating crucial situations in penalty area (see 49’ in the gridabove)

3.Waiting prior to whistle, in order to be totally sure and in case, to give a possibleadvantage.

4. Attention when players took free kicks. He ordered often to repeat them becausethe ball was moving. Even in the penalty situation, he was able to notice that theball was in a wrong position.

5. Management of added time: 5 minutes in second half were totally appropriate.

Points for Improvement

1. Excessive usage of the whistle, in calling players.

2.The penalty was a too soft call, still acceptable, but it wasn’t consistent with theother fouls on the middle of the pitch.

3.He decided to give only two YC in a mandatory situations, but the managementcan be improved. For this reason the mark is 8,2. Anyway, overall still a goodperformance.

Further observations (peculiarities of the referee revealing his character)

Felix Brych had overall a lenient style in this match, preferring to whistle withoutcards. He decided to give a card in first half for a tackle, then another at the endof second half for wasting of time by Mexican keeper (correct). Overall, the fouldetection was good, but the card management can be improved. Again, we can

underline that the penalty call was too soft. Brych should find more consistencyunder this aspect. It was anyway a difficult situation to evaluate and he was a bitfar from the play.
