Moen tells NTB on Tuesday. The Bodø/Glimt camp was furious when a penalty kick was not awarded after Nypan went in hard on Zinckernagel on Monday.
– We have gone through and evaluated the situation, and we have concluded that there should have been a penalty kick and a yellow card for reckless tackling, says Moen, before adding:
– It is also important to remember that there are people sitting there. They have different perceptions of things. Usman (Aslam, the main referee) is very well positioned and makes an assessment based on the fact that he is clearly on the ball. When we analyze and see the TV footage, we completely agree that this is a penalty kick and that VAR should have recommended an On-Field Review (OFR). Short and concise. Clear and straightforward.

Glimt reacted
The situation caused several in Glimt to react.
– A very controversial situation. I have seen it. If he doesn’t get away, he breaks his legs. This cannot be debated in my world. Absolutely unbelievable, said head coach Knutsen to TV 2.
– If I don’t jump, I break my leg. I can hardly walk now, Zinckernagel told the local newspaper Avisa Nordland.
