Referee Bas Nijhuis did not have a good feeling about the match between Feyenoord and Heracles Almelo (2-1) on Wednesday. “They should be happy that the doors are still there.”
Nijhuis disallowed a goal from Luis Sinisterra in the initial phase, after he was called to the side by video referee Marc Nagtegaal. He asked the referee to assess a situation in which Feyenoord attacker Alireza Jahanbakhsh blocked Heracles defender Giacomo Quagliata.
Nijhuis watched the game several times and finally decided, with visible reluctance, to whistle for a foul. ,,We have agreed with each other that a referee will only step aside in case of obvious mistakes or moments, not in situations like this.”
I should not have gone along with the judgment of the VAR
“Then you put the referee in a difficult situation,” Nijhuis, who said he was furious when he arrived in the locker room during halftime, told ESPN.
“They should be happy that the doors are still there. I shouldn’t have gone along with the VAR’s verdict. It is that Feyenoord still wins here with 2-1, otherwise you have made a decisive error as an arbitrator.”
