“We thought it was penalty”

GAMES Anderlecht feels mugged after losing the cup. Especially the obvious handball of Hans Vanaken in the sixteen for which no penalty was given, can't sink in on the purple and white side. “The referee told us that he saw no movement toward ball from Vanaken and that's why he didn't think it was a penalty. We think so,” Hasi was clear.


It must be said, a penalty has been given for much less in the recent past. Bruges also scored the 2-0 just after that, which made it extra sour.

Marc Coucke also posted four emojis on social media: two hands with two soccer balls, in which he made clear what he thought. Remco Evenepoel was also clear: he posted “stolen".

Hans Vanaken himself, of course, did not think it was a penalty although he admitted touching the ball with his hand.
