Referee denies Baeten a wonderful goal

According to Vi.

Background

Thibo Baeten, a talented player from Go Ahead Eagles, has already proven his skills in the current season. Despite the disallowed goal, he remains a key figure for the team in the Eredivisie. However, his frustration with the referee's decision could give him additional motivation to do even better in the coming games.

Why this is important

The disallowance of Thibo Baeten's goal raises questions about refereeing performance in the Eredivisie. Such an event can affect not only the course of the game, but also the morale of the players and the dynamics of the team. For Go Ahead Eagles, who had a flawless start to the season, this is a setback that is fueling discussion about refereeing decisions in the league.

Key findings

• Referee denies Baeten a wonderful goal.
• A wonderful goal from Thibo Baeten was disallowed in stoppage time due to an early whistle from referee Robin Hensgens, even though Go Ahead Eagles started the season flawlessly.
• Scheidsrechter ontneemt Baeten wonderful goal.

Go Ahead Eagles started the new Eredivisie season error-free, but a controversial referee's whistle ensured that the team did not go error-free in another league game. In injury time of the game against Fortuna Sittard, which the Eagles won 2-1, Thibo Baeten wanted to make the preliminary decision with a great shot from 25 meters into the top right corner. But referee Robin Hensgens whistled off the action beforehand. "I wanted to go for the ball and the Fortuna Sittard defender held my arm. I then fell and I thought the referee was calling for a foul. I then saw that the referee was pointing to the ground, but I didn't realize that he interpreted it as offside. I found that very strange because I touched the ball," Baeten explained after the game in an interview with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. The referee apparently blew the whistle too early, because a few seconds later, when the player was on the ground, Baeten hit the ball and scored the goal. "I was totally frustrated. I've never seen such a strange thing. I just found it sad that I couldn't help my team anymore because the goal would have decided the game," said Baeten. Coach Kees van Wonderen was also not happy about the referee's whistle. "It was a clear goal. I only saw pictures on the cell phones of players who filmed it. I can't understand why the goal wasn't given. And I also don't understand why the referee made a decision so quickly in this situation. He should have just waited a few seconds until everything was clear whether it was a foul or not. It was also a duel for the ball. Thibo wanted to play the ball and the defender held onto his arm," said van Wonderen. Despite the goal being disallowed, Baeten can be quite happy with his performance. The Belgian was very active before his foul and was also involved in both of the Go Ahead Eagles' goals. The Go Ahead Eagles are in first place in the Eredivisie table with nine points after three games.

What happens next

Following this incident, it is expected that refereeing performance in the Eredivisie will come under increased scrutiny. Go Ahead Eagles will look to maintain the positive vibes from the first few games while Baeten focuses on the next challenges. The team will focus on maintaining their form and continuing to collect points to remain competitive in the league.
