finished as a 2-2 draw following a moment of controversy regarding a substitution Heerenveen led 2-1 on 88 minutes when Fortuna brought on Darijo Grujcic and Owen Johnson for Ryan Fosso and Jasper Dahlhaus Dahlhaus did not make his way off the pitch as instructed and continued playing for another minute Van Persie quickly realised that Fortuna were fielding 12 men on the pitch as opposed to football’s long-standing limit of 11 The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker complained on the touchline before Dahlhaus went off with Van Persie expressing his anger over the short but prohibited one-man advantage “I find what preceded that goal very special,” he said in a post-match interview via ESPN “Fortuna Sittard had 12 men on the field for a minute before that throw-in “Apparently that is allowed and possible “Normally I never talk to referees and always let them do their job But it can’t be that they play with 12 men ‘Shouldn’t you do something about that?'” Van Persie then suggested what should have happened by adding: “For example You can’t play with 12 men against 11 “I really can’t understand that Heerenveen are Van Persie’s first club in management
