One doesn’t very often get to see a referee acknowledge his mistake during the match, at least not in top-level football.
But a Danish referee seemingly went against the grain and has perhaps delivered the most wholesome moment we’ll see this season.
A match official became visibly distraught as he sank to the ground after realizing that he had made a big mistake by not playing advantage.
The incident took place during the 1-1 draw between Vendsyssel FF and FC Fredericia in the Danish 1st Division (the second tier of the Danish football league).
It was a bad sequence of events for the ref no doubt, but Twitter loved how he was able to recognize and take responsibility for his mistake.
Check out the reaction below.

This is crazy … referee doesn’t play advantage and realizes very quickly that was a huge mistake 🤯 pic.twitter.com/IN7FndMqmO
This is the humility we wish we saw in the Premier League. It’s normal to make mistakes but the doubling down we see from prem refs makes it seem like they have an agenda.
Amazing response from the players Jordan, we must give them credit for their emotional intelligence and controlled behaviour. Many refs have been here, trust me on that https://t.co/Wt6gaNSgwq
