Peter Vandenpemp speaks out about Cercle Brugge’s disallowed goal in title match – Football News

Cercle scored a goal ten minutes from time, but VAR had to look at it carefully. A few minutes later, referee Lardo was called to the screen. The goal was disallowed due to offside.

Peter Vandenemppt believes the right decision has been made. He said: “I will go straight to the point: Was it offside in the Club Brugge Cercle match or not? Based on what we saw, the decision was correct in the end. Lopez da Silva participated in the match and was offside as well.” Sporza.

“Just: Many now doubt whether the line was drawn in time. But this is the VAR decision and this is what we have to base ourselves on. That is why the decision in this case seems correct.”

It was noteworthy that Lardo was called to the screen for offside, which does not usually happen. He continued: “But the way the VAR and referee Lardo dealt with this matter caused unnecessary resentment and confusion.” “This was unfortunate and caused a lot of inconvenience among people who followed the referee’s communications on the field.”

“In front of 26,000 spectators, he suddenly had to make a decision that VAR would have made a perfect decision himself. It was offside, the player involved was actively involved in the match and there was no second phase,” Vandenembempt concluded.
