Just something I saw - the 2nd leg of this tie is being replayed because in the game the referee, Mario van der Ende, booked a player for the 2nd time but mistook him for someone else and didn't send him off.
FC Tirol protested and used video evidence to show that Moscow should have in fact played the last 30 minutes with 10 men.
I think it sets a dangerous precedent to have the game replayed - it was a refereeing error and that should be that - what happens when someone can prove with video evidence that they should have had a penalty kick in a match but the referee didn't spot it - or proves that an incident should have been a sending off instead of simply a booking?
