Coach Van Persie was furious after an unbelievable incident.

(Dan Tri) - An incredibly unbelievable incident occurred in the Dutch national championship between Heerenveen and Fortuna Sittard. That made coach Van Persie very angry.

The real-as-a-joke story appeared in the match between Heerenveen and Fortuna Sittard in round 21 of the Dutch national championship last night. In the 89th minute, when Heerenveen was leading 2-1, Fortuna Sittard made two substitutions.

However, it is worth mentioning that only one Fortuna Sittard player left the field. This team played with 12 players in the final minutes. The referee did not detect this. Just one minute after having the advantage of one more player, Fortuna Sittard equalized 2-2. Starting from a corner kick, Rodrigo Guth jumped high to head the ball into the Heerenveen net.

This draw caused Heerenveen to miss the opportunity to rise to 8th place in the rankings. After the match, Heerenveen coach Robin Van Persie could not keep his composure when seeing his opponent playing with 12 men.

The former Arsenal and Man Utd striker said: "It's ridiculous! 12 against 11. Everyone can see the opponent is breaking the rules but the game continues as if nothing happened.

The referee should have taken some action to remedy the situation. For example, disallowing the goal. It is unacceptable for the opponent to play with 12 men at such a crucial moment."

The Dutch national championship organizers have not yet commented on this unusual incident. It is highly likely that they will intervene and punish Fortuna Sittard for cheating. On social networks, many fans have strongly protested against Fortuna Sittard.

Coach Van Persie's team has not known victory in the last 4 matches (1 draw, 3 losses). They have been pushed down to 10th place with 25 points after 21 matches. Van Persie's seat is shaky.
