A controversial incident during the Feyenoord-AZ match in Rotterdam has sparked outrage after a potential penalty was not awarded to AZ. The match, played during the “Referee Week” transitioning into “VAR Week” in the Netherlands, ended in a 2-0 victory for Feyenoord. The incident involved a questionable penalty decision concerning AZ player Mexx Meerdink, with claims that available television footage was not reviewed. A combined error by VAR Erwin Blank and referee Danny Makkelie potentially led to the incorrect decision, disadvantaging the visiting team. The failure to consult the footage ultimately favored the home side, leaving AZ frustrated with the outcome. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the reliability and effectiveness of VAR in Dutch football.
