Ajax had a difficult second half against Sparta, but won. “Things could have turned out differently for Ajax if VAR had intervened,” Kwakman said From Eretribune on ESPN. “I thought it was a red card.” Hato kicked after a standard situation in the Sparta sixteen-meter area when the ball was already gone. “He just kicks him, what’s the point?”
Kwakman thinks he knows why VAR did not intervene. “They probably look at the intensity of the kick. But he hasn’t had a yellow card either… In principle, this is a post-kick, so he gets away well.”
