Belgian Cup: “The penalty had no reason to be” for Thorsten Fink

A quarter of an hour from time, Christos Tzolis gave the Club victory from the penalty spot for a foul by Mujaid Sadick on Ferran Jutgla. Lawrence Visser, the referee of the match, first indicated a goal kick before being called by the VAR and awarding a penalty.

“If I were a referee, I would not let such a penalty decide on such a poster,” Fink reacted at a press conference. “It’s a shame to lose because we didn’t have a bad match. It could perhaps have been better but I’m not unhappy. We scored a good goal and Bruges only scored from set pieces. penalty was not necessary. There are plenty of contacts like that during a match. I expect more from a referee in such an evening. semi-final. crucial decision. It’s regrettable.”
