The announcer of the Roda Kerkrade team stadium erroneously announced the promotion of the club in the first echelon / Supporters invaded the field

The stadium announcer of the Roda JC Kerkrade team (Dutch D2) made a major blunder on Friday evening, when he mistakenly announced that the team had been promoted to the first division. Out of joy, the supporters invaded the field, reports News.ro, citing L’Equipe.

The club, who play in the Dutch second division, thought they had qualified for the Eredivisie on Friday night after beating Cambuur 2-0, taking advantage of the result of third-placed Groningen, who were beaten 1-0 at Telstar . At the end of the game, the announcer at the Roda JC Kerkrade stadium announced the club’s promotion to the Eredivisie.

Ecstatic fans invaded the field and celebrated with the players on the field. The problem was that Groningen equalized in the 95th minute. The announcer, misinformed by the stadium’s internet connection, then erroneously announced that Groningen had been beaten 2-1.

This draw does not yet formalize the club’s promotion to the first division. Although Roda has three points ahead of Groningen in the standings, there is still a stage to play, and Roda moves to… Groningen. Everything will depend on this match.
