Van Meenen explained that the VAR did not intervene, as the referee's decision to give Ouazane a yellow card was deemed correct. The tackle in question involved Ouazane's hard challenge on NEC's Bryan Linssen, which was initially assessed as a yellow card by referee Serdar Gözübüyük. Van Meenen noted that the VAR's decision was based on the fact that there was contact between the players' feet on the ground, which is sufficient for the VAR to let the referee's decision stand.
Ouazane's decision to take the risk of a red card has been highlighted by Van Meenen, who pointed out that the speed and intensity of the tackle made it a potentially hazardous situation.
