An excellent first half from the ref getting all the important calls correct. A high score but in the second half a bit more mistakes.  There was an incident when Donovan pushed Ivanovic against the boarding when the latter one shielded a ball to let it run for a goal kick. Ivanovic was angry about that and ran against Donovan. The ref cooled it down with some talking but I thought this was a very risky thing to do.

Pushing a player in the back and forcing him against the boarding is a dangerous thing to do and should be punished with a yellow card. It is such moments that can change a game that until then was played in a rather good spirit in to a mad house game. At the end of the day the good spirit remained intact but that pushing was totally unacceptable.

A very unbiased performance from the ref. 10 wrong calls in total and if we add weight to it we get a divide of 54/46 between the two teams. So all in all both teams could be satisfied with the performance of the ref. Well I was when looking at this.
