BRUSSELS – Video review has gone awry in the Belgian Pro Football League. Then the match between Anterlet and Genk will be played again. The decision was made by the Professional Football Disciplinary Committee after Genk appealed.
Genk lost 1-2 in the match on December 23. The reason for the controversy was that the goal won by Genk was denied by the referee following the video review. Anderlecht goalie Kasper Schmeichel’s shot was deflected by Yeira Sour after Brian Heinens’ penalty came back goalless. Replays showed that Sour was inside the penalty area when the penalty was taken. And the referee did not take into account that two Anderlet players were in the penalty box. Genk argued that this was a misinterpretation of the law.
Genk is fifth in the Belgian league. Anterlet is in second place.

RIYADH – In Saudi Arabia, restrictions on the importation of drinks and some other special goods to embassies from non-Muslim countries are being restricted, a local newspaper reported. Restrictions are imposed because import permits are widely exploited. It will be effective from today (January 22).
As part of the protection of diplomatic baggage, the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations allowed the importation of certain beverages and the like from abroad. This made it possible to bring them in controlled quantities and numbers that were not subject to exploitation. But it is reported to be widely exploited. The Ministry of External Affairs will inform all diplomatic offices in this regard.
The new decision is a revision of the provision that has been in effect since Saudi Arabia signed the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations in 1961. The new decision allows diplomats in embassies of non-Muslim countries to set special quotas and allow limited quantities of certain goods and beverages to be imported subject to strict regulations that are not subject to illegal exploitation.
