NAC Breda is frustrated about the penalty kick that FC Twente received on Saturday in the final phase of the mutual Eredivisie duel (2-2). Attacker Juho Talvition and trainer Carl Hoefkens did not agree with referee Alex Bos.
Talvition seemed to touch FC Twente player Daouda Weidmann in the penalty area, but the images were difficult to see if there was contact. Ricky van Wolfswinkel used the penalty and set the home team on 2-1. In injury time, NAC dragged another point out of the fire via Raul Paula.
“I felt nothing, but the referee was so convinced that I started to doubt,” Talvition told ESPN . “But I have not seen the images and I am sure I didn’t touch him.”
Hoefkens was also surprised at the decision of the referee, who remained in his decision after viewing the images. “For me it is not only this moment. It is much more general. I would even want to say that it is a sad day for football,” said NAC’s Belgian trainer.
“A penalty is a penalty, but I see that dive and I find that very difficult to see. If I had been in front of the television today, I would not have felt good because I am a football fan.”
“From the couch I also thought it was a penalty,” Hoefkens continued. “So I did understand the referee. But the VAR has the time to view the images and calls the referee. The referee is also looking for a while and then he still gives the penalty.”
