Euro 2016 Matchday 5 Reports Day 2: Strong Performances in second day

Croatia 5-1 Norway                                Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain)
Carballo was excellent, and he continues to work his way past his World Cup struggles.
69th Minute: Carballo calls a penalty against Croatian Verdan Corluka for a push on Tarik Elyounossi in the box. I don't have a good angle, but I think Carballo got it right. It looks like Corluka extends his arm on Elyounossi, so I agree with the decision. Carballo also got it right when he sent off Corluka two minutes later for another challenge that warranted a second yellow.

Israel 0-3 Wales                                       Referee: Milorad Mazic (Serbia)
The veteran Serb referee was strong, as he also continued to work past his own World Cup struggles.
51st Minute: Isreal's Eitan Tibi, already on a yellow, blocks off Gareth Bale without getting the ball. Mazic awards a clear second yellow for stopping a promising attack.

Netherlands 1-1 Turkey                           Referee: Felix Brych (Germany)
Brych was excellent with his calls and could be a CL Final contender in the next few years if he improved his timekeeping.
Full Time: No idea why Brych blew the final whistle after 5:46 of the 6 minutes of stoppage time. 6 minutes should be a minimum, and Brych could have even added on for the goal. He has got to improve his time management if he wants to take the next step.

Andorra 0-3 Bosnia-Herzegovina           Referee: Itsván Vad (Hungary)
Vad had an easy game and continued his run of good performances. Nothing important for us to look at.

Belgium 5-0 Cyprus                                Referee: Ovidiu Hategan (Romania)
Hategan did well with the easy task of refereeing a 5-0 game. Easy game, but good job nonetheless.

Azerbaijan 2-0 Malta                               Referee: Halis Özkahya (Turkey)
Özkahya was strong in a relatively easy match. Good work from the Turkish referee.

Czech Republic 1-1 Latvia                      Referee: Javier Estrada Fernandez (Spain)
Fernandez saw no controversy in the match. Nice work from the Spaniard.

Kazakhstan 0-3 Iceland                           Referee: Anastasios Sidiropolous (Greece)
Sidiropolous worked well in a relatively easy match, continuing today's trend of strong performances.

Bulgaria 2-2 Italy                                     Referee: Damir Skomina (Slovenia)
Skomina lived up to his top class standard and continues to push forward in his career with a good game here. No controversy.
