Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 0:3 (Sport1)
Dor Peretz's goal yesterday in the season match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa was legal and should not have been disqualified, so claimed this evening (Wednesday) Haim Yaakov, the national guide of the Premier League referees at the professional conference of the referees' union in Shafiim, which was held once every two weeks.
At the conference, Yaakov projected the event, during which, as I recall, VAR referee Roy Reinschreiber called center referee Oral Greenfeld and advised him to disallow Peretz's goal, claiming that at the beginning of the move, Dan Glazer committed a foul on Charon Sherry.
According to Yaakov Weiter, the members of the professional committee of the referees' union headed by chairman Liran Weksberger, there was no room for Reinschreiber's call since there was no foul and there was certainly no such contact that requires a decision by the VAR referee to call the center referee to disallow the goal.
He could have acted differently, but the criticism is mainly on the VAR.

From the point of view of the professional committee, a call to disqualify a goal should be made after full and clear certainty that an illegal action was taken before the goal was taken, and in this case, as stated, in the eyes of the professional committee, there was no offense at all.
An official in the referees' union said this evening: "I don't want to think what would have happened if, after disallowing such a goal, Maccabi Tel Aviv had not won the game."
As for the central referee Oral Greenfeld, it is clear to the members of the committee that he too could have opposed Reinschreiber's recommendation and not disallow the goal, but since there is an instruction for referees on the pitch to accept the VAR calls in most cases, the criticism this time is more on the VAR than on the central referee .
