A historic decision the belgian football federation announced!
Specifically, the race Anderlecht-Genkwhich had been held on December 23 and had the home team as winners with a score of 2-1, it will be repeated from the beginning due to an error by VARand the subsequent appeal of the guests!
The phase that caused the discussion had taken place in the 21st minute, when the match was tied at 0-0. Genk won a penalty and lost it, with Sor to follow the phase and send the ball into the net for his team’s 1-0. However, the goal was disallowed because VAR deemed the scorer to have entered the area earlier than he should have. However, the replay clearly showed that exactly the same thing happened to her defenders Anderlechtso the run had to be repeated.
After her defeat, the Genk he decided to go to court considering that he was wronged, as a result he appealed and was vindicated by the Belgian federation. This is also the first time in history, that a match will repeated due to a bug with VAR!
From her side, of course, Anderlecht disagreed with the decision, and sent word of its own impending appeal. “We are disappointed by this decision and will file every possible form of appeal. The decision taken is not only against the interest of Anderlecht, but also against the interest of Belgian football.”her announcement specifically said.
