Danny Makkelie Addresses Controversial Offside Call After AZ vs. Ajax Match

omidbasir- On Sunday afternoon, referee Danny Makkelie appeared on camera following the AZ vs. Ajax match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. He took the opportunity to clarify the decision regarding the disallowed goal by Troy Parrott.

Danny Makkelie asserted that the disallowed goal by AZ was justified. The goal was set up by Alexandre Penetra’s free kick, which found Parrott, who successfully scored. Neither the passer nor the scorer was in an offside position. However, Makkelie explained the reason for the disallowed goal: “A cross was made, and Sadiq was in an offside position, which was very clear. At the moment the ball crossed over, he interfered with Gaaei’s run for the aerial challenge,” the referee stated during an interview with ESPN.
