Charleroi and the circle of Bruges left back to back on Saturday evening after a match that did not offer a lot of spectacle due to the poor quality of the field. Subsequently, we did not talk about the result or football, but rather a controversial phase.
Indeed, about twenty minutes before the end of the match, a violent shock took place between Daan Heymans and Christiaan Ravych. Charleroi’s midfielder planted his elbow in the face of the circle defender during a duel.
Heymans escapes red
The latter had to go out on the side, the bloody nose and the eye with a black butter, and ultimately could not even take over the match. By leaving the field, Ravych then uttered the necessary imprecations against his opponent.
To everyone’s surprise, Heymans got away with a simple yellow card. The Var did not intervene either. Of course, this decision did not arouse sympathy in the camp of the circle. “It is incomprehensible, it should have been a red card,” exclaimed coach Ferdinand Feldhofer.
-Heymans denies that the nudden was intentional
Heymans, for his part, defended himself after the match. “I am a loyal player and I have never taken a box after a duel,” he said for Het Nieuwsblad.
“I knew that Christiaan Ravych was on my left. We entered the duel, he hit me and I hit him. I may have widened myself, but I never intended to hit him in the face. ”
According to Heymans, it was therefore absolutely not his intention. “Especially since I know a little ravych outside the field. I still tried to apologize to him, but he had already gone to the hospital. ”
