The man who failed to award Portugal a clear winning goal in their last World Cup qualifier has been relieved of his duties

Mario Diks, the assistant referee that ruled Cristiano Ronaldo's 'goal' against Serbia hadn't crossed the line, has been dropped from the Netherlands' officiating team for Euro 2020.

Ronaldo was wrongly denied a last-minute winning goal during Portugal's 2022 World Cup qualifying clash with Serbia last month, which ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw.

Match referee Danny Makkelie publicly apologised for the mistake after the game, and has now dropped Diks from his set-up ahead of this summer's European Championship.

Don't say what u don't know, there's no VAR that's why things go wrong

Nice move, l guess he was a messy fan, trying to witchhunt cr7 ; bad Belle no good ooo

nice one so others can learn but I feel sorry for him because they was no var to assist them..
remove var from games n you would see worse decisions like it was before so I dnt blame him dt much bcoz it isnt easy..
I insist its better he said no goal since he isnt sure bcoz it would have been a worst disaster if he called it a goal when it haven't crossed d line...dts d ethics of the game
