Speaking about why the penalty was not awarded, Siebert said: "My view was blocked, I didn't see Pavard's foul clearly, as a referee, I can't award a penalty based on suspicion, the penalty is awarded on the premise that I am clearly aware of the foul. If in doubt, I'll let the game go on and I admit that penalties should be the right decision. ”
