The Eredivisie match between FC Utrecht and Ajax was officiated by Danny Makkelie, a referee who consistently attracts attention. Last week, Makkelie was involved in a notable incident with Wouter Goes during the Sparta Rotterdam versus AZ match. In light of the controversy, the KNVB did not provide the referee with a weekend of respite; instead, he was assigned to oversee this high-stakes clash between FC Utrecht and Ajax. The match has sparked widespread debate across the Netherlands regarding Makkelie’s performance, with many questioning his decisions and even humorously suggesting he might have misplaced his whistle.
