Ruben van Bommel's slam on Aaron Bouwman overshadowed the top match between Ajax and PSV. Yellow, ruled both the referee and the VAR. Incorrect, says head of referees Raymond van Meenen a day later: "This is not that complicated. His body is the 'weapon'. Then it is a red."
Ruben van Bommel should have received a red card for his collision with Aaron Bouwman during Ajax - PSV. That is the opinion of KNVB head of referees Raymond van Meenen.
Ruben Van Bommel, the son of Mark Van Bommel, stood out this Saturday during the Dutch clash between PSV Eindhoven and Ajax Amsterdam. About ten minutes before the end of the match, he hit an opposing player violently, a move that should have earned him a red card and which was strongly criticized by observers.
Ruben van Bommel experienced a game of two halves on Saturday evening. The 22-year-old PSV forward was important with an assist and helped his team to a convincing 1-3 victory over Ajax. Yet, afterwards, the focus was mainly on one incident: a particularly hard collision with Aaron Bouwman, for which Van Bommel received only a yellow card.
