Enter
FC Goa were impressive in their victory today

#4 The referee fails to spot a foul and Marcelinho loses his marbles

Enter c
Pranjal Banerjee was the match referee

Just after Goa had taken the lead, Pune made a good move down the left through Marcelinho. Just as he looked to dart into the box with the ball at his feet, he was brought down by Sergio Juste.

Marcelinho went tumbling on the ground and immediately gestured for a penalty to be given. Juste was pointing to the spot outside the box, making it clear that a penalty should not be awarded, in effect admitting to the foul.

Yet, Pranjal Banerjee waived it off completely saying there was no foul. There was clear contact, Marcelinho was brought down. Ranko Popovic could not believe it. Marcelinho went absolutely ballistic and picked up a yellow for admonishing the referee.
