VAR official Pol van Boekel defends his decision not to intervene during the Ajax-PSV match, where PSV player Ruben Van Bommel received only a yellow card for a hard punch against Aaron Bouwman. Despite criticism from referee chief Raymond van Meenen, who stated a red card was warranted, Van Boekel maintains his analysis was correct based on VAR criteria.
