Fenerbahçe, which suffered from Ivan Bebek's decisions against Braga last season, keeps getting hurt by referees. Portugese referee Artur Dias made Fenerbahçe fans mad with his decisions favoring Monaco. Fenerbahçe waited for a foul call when Fabinho dived on Ozan but Dias said "play on." That position led to a goal for Monaco. Dirar ran into Fenerbahçe penalty area and flopped when Hasan Ali tried a sliding tackle. It should not have been a penalty but referee awarded Monaco with one anyway. After this scandalous decision, Monaco went up 2-0.
Fans' Outbreak
Monaco players thought Emenike was offside when he scored Fenerbahçe's goal in 53rd minute and protested against referees. In 58th minute, after Gregory van Der Wiel's cross, Monaco player blocked the ball with his hand. Fenerbahçe side wanted a penalty for that but Referee Dias said "play on" again. Fenerbahçe fans reacted furiously after that decision. They shared comments like "How many times we'll go through this. They don't want us in Europe." Pierluigi Collina, who was observer of the game, got his share from fans' outburst too.
