The phase is likely to spill a lot of ink. Led after a goal by Peeters in the second period (2-1), Vincent Kompany’s men were slowly but surely heading for defeat.
Then, at the last minute of the match, the RSCA inherited a foul at the entrance to the area. Without flinching, the players complied. Gomez and Refaelov placed themselves to try to come back to score via this dangerous free kick. Advised by the VAR, the referee of the meeting chose to reconsider his decision. And he took responsibility by pointing to the penalty spot.
A decision which had the gift of annoying the bench of Eupen. And to allow Refaelov to score a double on this very contentious penalty. A decision that changes everything and allows the RSCA and Eupen to be tied before the return match on March 1st.
