“Red card changed the match”

OTHER At RSC Anderlecht, they are not happy about the red card. The ref was not in control of the game, it sounds at purple and white. According to Mario Stroeykens, it was even the decisive moment of the match.


“That you give red for an elbow, I can understand that,” said Stroeykens, ”But now there was just some pushing and pulling, which is not unusual when there is some tension. As a referee you have to be able to control and oversee such phases, but he immediately intervened drastically, which was certainly not necessary. The exclusion changed the match”.
