CLike every Monday, the refereeing department spoke about the contentious phases of the past Pro League day. This time, all the attention was focused on the match between Standard and Sint-Truiden. Should Adriano Bertaccini’s goal be canceled? Jonathan Lardot wants to be unequivocal. “I do not agree with the decision taken,” breathes the Technical Director. “I would have preferred the goal to be validated directly. For this, I refer to the first action of Matthieu Epolo. He comes out of his cages, sees the ball coming and tries to control it when he has the possibility, both visually and physically, to intervene correctly. Something he does not do, without this failure having any impact on the regulations. Indeed, the visual clarity gives a controlled character to his movement, especially since no player from Sint-Truiden comes to disturb the Standard goalkeeper. Adriano Bertaccini, in an illicit position, therefore does not disturb in any way. A second phase begins when Matthieu Epolo returns towards his goal, a moment chosen by the attacker to start pressing. So I was waiting for the goal to be accepted. »
