The match, which involved an apparent error by the video assistant referee, will now be replayed in its entirety following an appeal by the affected clubs.
The disciplinary committee ruled that Genk’s 2-1 loss to Anderlecht in the Belgian Pro League last month should be appealed, citing a misuse of the rules of the game.
The incident occurred in the 23rd minute of a match on December 23, when former Leicester City home goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saved Brian Haynan’s penalty and Ira Saw chased and scored.
Replays showed Sol was in the area when Heinan hit the ball, and VAR advised referee Nathan Verbumen to cancel the goal and award Anderlecht a free kick.
However, replays showed that two home players had also invaded, and according to the match regulations, Genk’s penalty should have been retaken.
Anderlecht scored the winning goal in the 91st minute thanks to Anders Dreyer.
The Belgian referee ruled that the incident was a VAR error rather than a misapplication of the rules of the game and refused to order a replay.
Genk appealed the decision to the Professional Football Disciplinary Council, but the decision was overturned on Friday.
“The Professional Football Disciplinary Council has decided that the match between Anderlecht and KRC Genk at the end of last year should be replayed,” Genk said in a statement.
“The Disciplinary Council initially declared itself competent to rule on the matter. This overturned the Professional Referees’ Department’s previous decision not to replay the match.
“The council then followed KRC Genk’s argument that the match officials had incorrectly applied the rules in the penalty phase in question. KRC Genk hopes that a date to replay the match can be found soon.”
Last year, the Premier League saw Liverpool lose 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur despite the video assistant referee failing to overturn an erroneous on-field decision that ruled Luis Diaz’s goal ruled out for offside. refused an order for a rematch.
