Out of a corner by Willemstad the attacker of Mahuma was able to pick up the ball at his own part of the pitch and with a great run with Stefan he was tripped just before the penalty area. The referee gave a free-kick to Mahuma. When the referee blowed his whistle the player who was ready to take the free-kick touched the ball and he took the ball back in his hand to put it back on spot for the free-kick. This was actually a hands ball. The referee said play on and the player scored the go ahead out of this free-kick. This was a very bad decision by the referee.
