The referees' union published its conclusions this evening (Wednesday) in the Maccabi Tel Aviv match against MS.
Ashdod last Saturday, which ended in a zero draw.
As remembered in that match, a controversial penalty in the first half was ruled in favor of the yellows and a winning goal was disallowed for the guests in the 89th minute due to a difference.
About the penalty in the 13th minute:
it is a wrong decision for a penalty kick.
There is no failure.
The screen referee should have intervened and advised the referee to examine the incident and cancel the penalty kick.
On Nabadel in the 89th minute: This is a Nabadel offense and a justified goal disqualification.
Maccabi Tel Aviv player Enrik Saborit is in a different position and tries to play the ball distinctly and close to the goalkeeper, thus committing a different offense.

As you can see and hear in the video from the screen judging system, there is no certainty as to whether Saborit touched the ball and therefore the case is defined as an "interpretation event", which requires the arrival of the referee to examine the incident on the screen (OFR - On Field Review).
If there was certainty from the screen referee's point of view that Saborit touched the ball, the case was defined as a "factual event", in which the referee was not required to reach the screen and only a report by the screen referee was sufficient to disallow the goal (VAR ONLY).
