It was with a hoarse voice and a mixture of anger and pride that Hein Vanhaezebrouck spoke to the press on Sunday evening. Many of his emotions were caused by the refereeing decisions. One red card and two goals disallowed after VAR check.

The Ghent coach returned to the red card for Vadis Odjidja. “I thought the foul on Hip-Olsen was also a red card, by the way,” the Buffalos’ T1 continued. “When you see the decisions that VAR sometimes makes… And then it also takes three minutes per phase. Look, you can’t make two mistakes out of five decisions when you have the footage. I understand it’s difficult for the referee on the pitch, but the VAR can watch a replay several times from different angles,” said the former Kortrijk manager.
Hein Vanhaezebrouck however left Sclessin with three points. “You play more than a ten-man half and see three goals disallowed, but you still win in the end. My players deserved it after that game. We showed character and quality.”
