Chapter 214

As Hemu fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner, more than 10,000 Nijmegen fans stood up instantly and shouted excitedly:

"Foul!"

"Red card!"

"Penalty!"

Also, the less than 2,000 away fans of Alkmaar were indignant and booed loudly, and kept shouting:

"Flip!"

"Liar!"

"Get out!"

In fact, the distance was so far, and it was not a close-up shot on TV. How could the fans at the scene know whether Hector Moreno fouled or Hemu dived?

Everyone was just subconsciously trying to get a penalty that was favorable to their team.

Only the parties involved, the closest players, and the referee really knew the facts.

Moreno naturally saw clearly that Hemu took the initiative to hang his foot on his foot, and the touch of the rebound on his foot was also very slight, not the kind of force that he was caught off guard by.

Therefore, Moreno knew very well that Hemu was deliberately tampering and faking.

He thought that the referee, who was very close, less than 5 meters away, should see it clearly and would not call him a foul, so Moreno immediately got up and wanted to continue to grab the ball.

But the players of Nijmegen collectively stopped grabbing the ball and rushed to the scene of the incident excitedly.

Some went to check on Hemu, who fell to the ground and rolled, to see if he was "injured".

The other part blocked Moreno, cursed excitedly, and condemned Moreno's malicious foul in the penalty area.

The players of Alkmaar naturally couldn't let their teammates suffer. Pocognoli, Klavan, Yarians, David Mendes and others also surrounded them, stopped Moreno behind them to protect him, and accused Hemu of faking.

The faces of the players on both sides were about to touch each other, and it felt like they were going to fight in the next second.

Fortunately, at this moment, the referee's sharp whistle sounded.

"Beep... Beep..."

The referee blew the whistle and ran up, rushed between the two groups of players, separated the two sides, and stopped the imminent fight.

Then, after the players on both sides calmed down, the referee went to look at Nijmegen's No. 9 striker Hemu who was still rolling on the ground.

"Can you still play?" The referee asked Hemu.

Hemu didn't say anything, and continued to roll with his teeth bared while holding the part that had just touched Moreno.

So, the referee waved to the Nijmegen bench, and the Nijmegen team doctor and stretcher, who had been prepared, immediately rushed in.

After the team doctor checked Hemu, he carried Hemu down on a stretcher.

After dealing with the "injured", the referee turned around and waved to Hector Moreno.

Moreno opened his eyes wide, spread his hands and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"

As a result, the referee took out a yellow card from his pocket, flashed it to Moreno, and then pointed to the penalty spot, giving Alkmaar a "yellow card + penalty".

This penalty was like lighting a powder keg.

Alkmaar's fans were furious and shouted in angry voices:

"Fark!"

"Black whistle!"

"Get out!"

"You're blind!"

However, Alkmaar was playing away after all, and the noise made by less than 2,000 Alkmaar fans was not loud.

The more than 10,000 Nijmegen home fans at the scene made even louder noises.

Seeing the referee give Moreno the "yellow card + penalty", countless Nijmegen fans immediately applauded and cheered, shouting:

"Good call!"

"A foul should be punished with a penalty!"

Some people even felt dissatisfied with the yellow card and penalty, and questioned loudly:

"Why didn't he give him a red card?"

"Hemu was injured and left the field, the damn No. 4 (Moreno) should be given a red card directly!"

The voices of more than 10,000 Nijmegen fans suppressed the voices of Alkmaar fans.

Of course, no matter how the fans viewed this penalty, they were too far away from the stadium after all, and the impact on the scene was minimal.

Moreno at the scene was shocked, unbelievable and angry, and a Mexican curse came out of his mouth, and then he said to the referee excitedly:

"Are you blind? He leaned on my feet by himself, he was a fake fall, not a foul!"

At the same time, his body pressed forward, his face was close to the referee's face.

Although he didn't understand Moreno's Mexican curse, the referee knew from Moreno's angry expression that it was definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, Moreno cursed him "blind" in Dutch.

The referee's face suddenly became serious, and he stepped back while stretching out his hand to block Moreno, and then put his other hand in his pocket, warning:"Please pay attention to your behavior and words, otherwise I will send you off."

Moreno was furious and was ready to approach the referee again and scold him.

As a result, as soon as the referee finished speaking, Moreno was pulled away from behind before he could move.

Then, a figure blocked him.

It was Alkmaar's captain Jariens.

Jariens stopped Moreno's impulse, stood up and questioned the referee, and objected to the referee's decision.

However, the referee insisted on his decision.

After Moreno was shown a yellow card and a penalty was awarded by the referee, Van Gaal on the sidelines also protested to the fourth official excitedly, and even cursed.

The fourth official immediately said to Van Gaal with a serious face that he would write Van Gaal's words and actions into the post-match report, implying that he was threatening Van Gaal.

Van Gaal, who was furious, would not accept this. He was about to continue to criticize and even insult the referee team, but fortunately he was pulled away by the main coaches Jonker and Hoke.

Otherwise, Van Gaal would have really cursed at the fourth official, and then been sent to the stands, and his name would be written into the post-match report and additional penalties.

Even so, Van Gaal, who was pulled away, was still cursing incoherently, but the fourth official pretended not to hear and didn't bother with him.

Because he knew that Van Gaal was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and was just venting.

The penalty had already come out, and neither Van Gaal nor the captain Yarence could reverse the referee's decision. Nijmegen finally got a penalty thanks to Hem's "fake fall".

Amid the boos of Alkmaar fans, Nijmegen's No. 16 attacking midfielder Davis scored the penalty in one fell swoop and scored the goal guarded by Romero.

Although Romero judged the direction correctly, he still failed to save the penalty kick at this tricky angle.

More than 10,000 home fans cheered and screamed, suppressing the boos of less than 2,000 Alkmaar fans to the extreme.

In the 34th minute, Nijmegen, playing at home, temporarily led Alkmaar 2-0 with a penalty kick scored by Davis. Alkmaar, playing away, encountered great difficulties.
