PSV lost 2-1 at Vitesse on Sunday afternoon, but for the time being it is mainly about a crucial moment in extra time. Bas Nijhuis saw a penalty kick in a push from Eli Dasa towards Jorrit Hendrix and pointed to the dot. VAR However, Danny Makkelie intervened and called his colleague to the side to look at the images again. Nijhuis reconsidered his decision and thus PSV suffered its first league defeat under Roger Schmidt, after the Europa League match against Granada (2-1) had also been lost on Thursday.

Ronald de Boer was asked whether he understood Schmidt’s indignation. The PSV trainer approached Nijhuis after the final whistle and asked for an explanation. “Yes of course. I certainly understand that. At first it also seemed that it was a strange action by Dasa. It was hard to watch. I thought it was not smart to do Dasa, not useful. Hendrix maybe. If Nijhuis does not whistle, you might also say: ‘fine’. ”

De Boer did not expect Nijhuis to be reprimanded by Makkelie. “No, I didn’t expect that.” The former football player then got to see the images properly. “Hendrix just bumps into him. Stupid. I could live with it anyway. ” Hendrix then appeared in front of the camera FOX Sports. “I don’t know if it was a penalty. I don’t know what he’s doing. I have no eyes in my back. ”

“I wanted to take the ball and control it. I feel he walks in my back. I’m not someone who makes schwalbes ”, Hendrix emphasized. “It has been assessed, it must be. I don’t think it’s smart what Dasa does, but it’s not my place to judge. He can give it, he cannot give it. We have to accept our loss. It’s been debatable so many times. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it goes against it. ”

“Let’s go again, so this is a big mistake,” tweeted Arnold Bruggink, who also used the hashtag. snapjetochn added. Commentator Mark van Rijswijk thinks it is ‘the season of the lottery’. “VAR, handballs, corona. It seems to be the season of the lottery. You just have to be lucky at the right time. ” Bruggink responded to his tweet. “Yes, and who the VAR is. Makkelie is one of the few who dares to do this. So it remains human work ”, the analyst said FOX Sports.

“The VAR therefore thinks it is an obvious mistake by Nijhuis. The penalty is very easy (certainly by Nijhuis standards), but is it also an obvious mistake? ”, Asks PSV watcher Rik Elfrink of the Eindhovens Dagblad wondering. “It will generate a lot of discussion. In any case, no pinging and PSV loses here in Arnhem 2-1. ”

“Makkelie has left his mark on the game (is the VAR for that?), But PSV itself has also simply neglected to leave a mark on the game with the remaining ones,” Elfrink emphasizes. “Failed two important exams in succession.” Former top arbiter Mario van de Ende could not believe his eyes. “This cannot be true. Penalty kick PSV is transformed after VAR intervention in referee ball. ”
