Heading to Belgium, where this football weekend was marked by an improbable situation that is causing quite a stir across the border.

On Saturday, Westerlo hosted Gent.

In the 60th minute, Isa Sakamoto thought he had opened the scoring for the home team. However, the goal was disallowed due to an offside by Nacho Ferri , a Westerlo forward who provided the decisive pass in the play.

A very borderline offside, which the VAR initially confirmed... before quite grotesquely reversing its decision, let's say it!

Indeed, the first image seems to indicate that Ferri is indeed offside, at the level of his shoulder.

But a few seconds later, the broadcast of the match offers the VAR and viewers an image that seems to show that the offside line, supposed to be placed at the level of the last defender to see if the attacker is indeed in front of him - and thus in front of this line, is actually aligned... with nothing.

The line is in front of the defender... and in front of the attacker flagged offside.

A completely crazy alignment error that makes the action impossible to judge. Was Nacho Ferri offside? It's a mystery...

The final score of the match? 0-0...

Issame Charaï, the coach of Westerlo, did not mince his words: "For Belgian football, I find it scandalous that we do not know which line should be drawn."

Imagine if this madness happened in France...
