System Video assistant of the referee significantly influenced the course of the match Feyenoord - Vitesse.

A very unusual episode occurred in the finals of the Netherlands Super Cup. Feyenoord led the meeting against Vitesse thanks to the early goal of Jens Toornstra. At the 54th minute Karim El-Ahmadi shot down in his own penalty forward arnemtsev Tim Matavzha. The referee did not fix a penalty, and Feyenoord scored a second goal in a quick counterattack..

After that, the chief referee of the meeting, Danny McKeeley, was prompted by an assistant and went to watch the video replay. As a result, he canceled Feyenoord's goal, gave a yellow card to El-Ahmadi and after 2 minutes and 26 seconds appointed a penalty in favor of Vitesse.
