Referee Richard Martens drew yellow when the Frenchman complained to the linesman. N’Diaye drew the arbitration’s attention to racist treatment from the branch with MVV supporters.
According to the KNVB, Martens was not aware that the Dordrecht defender had gone to the linesman because of this. “After it became clear to the referee what exactly had happened, he asked the prosecutor not to register the yellow card,” the KNVB said. “After reviewing the referee’s request, the prosecution has decided to grant the request.”
