Description of incident: Altidore was shielding the ball from Zubar inside the Wolves penalty area and the two players came together. Altidore tumbled and the referee gave a penalty to Hull.
Date of Game: Saturday 30th January 2010
Home Team:


Referee: Mike Dean | Linesman: Peter Kirkup & Michael Murphy
Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict:

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: Hull City | Loser: Wolverhampton Wanderers
Players Involved: Jozy Altidore (Hull City) & Ronald Zubar (Wolves)
Summary: I've seen a lot of these types of challenges result in the ref waving play on as it's not your "conventional" foul. By that I mean that it was a really clumsy challenge by Zubar as he basically bundled his way through Altidore and although he didn't actually stretch out a leg to bring the striker down, it was the right decision to award the penalty.

Cheers,
