LEIPZIG, Germany : Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said the referee made a mistake in ruling out a goal for his side against France at the European Championship on Friday but added that both sides were happy with a point in their 0-0 Group D draw.

But Koeman said he has looked at images of the incident afterwards and strongly disagreed with English referee Anthony Taylor. “Did they need five minutes to check it because it's so difficult? I don't understand this. He's not disturbing the goalkeeper,” added Koeman.The game fizzled out into a tepid ending, ensuring the two sides reached four points and will almost surely go through to the knockout stage"I can accept this, although there were times during the game where we weren't up to scratch and that's probably due to the fact that we were up against a great opponent in France.
“Maybe you’ll say the Dutch were boring and defensive, and that is allowed. But I had the feeling France were happy to leave the field with a point too.”
