Watched a couple of videos.
CR was slow to react to counterattack. Clearly wanted to go home and not play OT.
Close call, but I would not have called it. Attacker weakly crosses ball to avoid keeper who is already going down. NO chance to score.
Terrible way to end a playoff run.

Problem solved. Player crossed the ball and the keeper made a play on the player without the ball. Bang bang play but right call as contact was made on a player without the ball. No different than a field player going in for a tackle after ball is played and getting a foul called. The location was impactful but call was right. Who was the cross to though? No one was there. I think the attacker knew the keeper would get the ball and quickly "passed" it to no one, to get a PK. The keeper clearly went for the ball, was already in motion before the "cross". Wrong call imo but it was tough esp with the history. Also what happened with the defender running back, how did she fall? It's hard to see. I guess she tried to kick it and then fell. Yeah, there's no way the CR or AR could see - in real time, not slowed down, from where they were on the field- that the attacker might have tried to "cross" the ball rather than shoot it. Honestly it's still difficult to fully see in slo-mo, and watching from a better position than especially the CR had running in from 30 yards behind the play. I still can't tell 100% if the keeper didn't get something on the cross/shot/whatever it was. So IMO, no way you essentially decide a game with a call like that in the dying seconds. On the defender, no clue what she was doing. Had the chance to clear it to the side (would have been tough) or even kick it straight out for a corner (would have been easy), which would have been better for her (and the team) than what ultimately happened. |

I was at the game and thought it was questionable in real time. Watching the video it looks like a foul to me.
Harrison did control the game but North Gwinnett seems to allow that to happen to a degree. They are waiting around for the second half to let their fast girls up front to make runs.

I watched the video on the link in this thread a couple times, and I'd say definitely not a foul. Look where the ball goes. Either the keeper blocks it with her legs or the attacker just crosses it to no one (hard to tell on the vidio whether it hits the keeper or not). Either way, no foul. The keeper has every right to come forward, go down, and try to make a save. The contact is created just as much by the momentum of the attacker going forward after she plays the ball as it is by the keeper going down to try and make a save. If the contact was diproportionately caused by the keeper coming out and just cleaning her out, I'd get calling a foul, but it definitely wasn't. That's a brutal way to get knocked out of the playoffs. Is there a video available in regular speed? I have to imagine it had to look more like a foul in regular speed than it did in slow motion. Honestly shocked that some of you soccer people saw that as a foul in slow motion.
