Historic decision in football, Anderlecht-Genk match will repeat due to the judges' error

So has the Professional Football Disciplinary Council established after the complaint by the Genk Club, broadcast Express.

This disciplinary body decided to repeat the match as a date remained to be set later.

Anderlecht won the match 2:1 in December against Genc. But in this match, a goal was cancelled by Yira Sor of Genk, which came after Bryan Heynan's missing penalty.

The goal was canceled by the VAR with the excuse of earlier entry into the area of football players ? but it has now been confirmed that the penalty must be repeated, as regulations say.

The reviews showed that Sor was inside the penalty area after Heynan hit the ball, prompting the VAR to recommend the judge, Nathan Verboomen, for the goal to be annulled.

However, the footage also showed that two Anderlecht players had also entered the area of strictness, which, according to game laws, should have resulted in the repeat of the Genk penalty, instead of the match judges' decision that decided to give Anderlecht a free kick.

The Professional Football Discipline Council has decided that the Anderlecht match KRC Genk at the end of last year must be replayed. The disciplinary council was initially declared competent to decide on the matter. This annulled the previous decision by the Department of Professional Judges not to replay the match. The council then followed the KRC Genk argument that the match judges incorrectly followed the rules in the penalty phase in question. The KRC Genk hopes that a date will soon be found to replay the” match, said the Genk Club's announcement.
