Saturday evening, FC Utrecht home, 0-1 behind. Gervane Kastaneer thinks he will score the equalizer, but is still whistled back from Zeist after alleged offside. It soon becomes apparent that VAR Bas Nijhuis used a wrong offside line and the winger’s goal should have ‘just’ counted. In the end, PEC Zwolle secured a point thanks to a goal from Daishawn Redan, but the question ‘what if?’ will sing around forever.
PEC Zwolle felt that the club was wronged by a technical error. Talks were held with the KNVB, which admitted that the video arbitrator was wrong, and all possible scenarios were discussed. Conclusion: PEC will not take any more steps and will play in the Kitchen Champion Division next year. ,,Immediately after that game we explored the possibilities for possible action, but decided not to. We take our loss, focus and do everything we can to come right back next year,” the club said in a statement.
