PAE Kifisia criticizes refereeing and VAR in match against Aris

PAE Kifisia has issued a harsh official statement criticizing the refereeing and VAR usage during their recent match against Aris. The club expressed significant frustration, describing the officiating as having ‘two different standards’ depending on the players involved.

The club specifically highlighted two incidents: the decision to order a retake of a penalty by Broma after a VAR review of Jeremy Antoine’s positioning, and the failure to issue a red card for a dangerous strike to Leroy Abanda’s head involving studs. Kifisia stated that these decisions are unjustifiable given the availability of VAR technology and called for exemplary punishment for officials who commit such errors to improve Greek football.
