The scene stalemate.

As time went on, Feyenoord played with ease and Twente became impatient.In the No.301 minute of the second half, in the penalty of a penalty kick, the midfielder Balama was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and spoke rudely.

The referee directly showed him a red card!

"Tick!..."

The referee rushed to the center of the incident, and it was a red card for Henk Tamaya!

The referee gave him a red card without hesitation!
In the end, Feyenoord scored a small victory at home, which extinguished Twente's hope of competing for the championship. At the end of the game, the Twente coach yelled at the referee on duty...

At the post-match press conference, Twente coach Rene said in frustration: "I admit that this defeat has disqualified us from competing for the championship."

He said indignantly: "But we could have left this stadium with our heads held high with a draw, but the referee dominated the result of this game!"

Chaser Twente fell first, adding pressure to another chaser, Ajax.

Twente lost away, and Alkmaar City cheered loudly. As long as they can win at home in this round, even if Ajax finally wins [-] consecutive victories against the sky, it will not change the reality of being runner-up!

They saw the hope of winning the championship early!

On the morning of the [-]th, after Ajax finished training at the open training ground, in an interview with the media, he said frankly: "Twente regretted losing the away game, which put a lot of pressure on us. Although there is one less competitor, the intensity of the competition has not diminished at all, but has increased."

"I hope that in our game tonight, there will be no misjudgments like last night's game, and the outcome of the game will return to the players, rather than the referees deciding the outcome of a game."

In the away game, Basten was a little worried that tonight's referee would favor the home team at critical moments like last night.
