FC Twente Vs. PSV Eindhoven: Official Misses Handball Off The Line

Early on in the match, the officials have already missed the first big decision of the game. FC Twente will have every reason to feel seriously aggrieved, as PSV Eindhoven have cleared a ball off the line with a clear handball that, without question, should have resulted in a red card and a penalty kick. Erik Pieters was the man who handled the ball, and he’s extremely lucky to still be on the pitch. The handball seemed very obvious even at full speed, and it’s pretty surprising that the referee has completely missed it.

Besides that, it’s been a great game so far. Both teams have had their scoring opportunities, but have been unable to convert. With the attacking styles of play and the attacking players on the pitch, it would be very surprising if this game went deep into the second half without a goal. It’s lively enough of a game as is, but a goal in the first half would seriously spice things up.
