In a UEFA A League match, the Dutch team challenged the Hungarian team away from home and ended up with a 1-1 draw. In this match, Dutch defender Van Dyke was sent off for two yellow cards, causing the team to play with ten men for the remainder of the match. After the match, Van Dyke expressed his dismay at the first yellow card decision.
Van Dyke was shown his first yellow card in the 76th minute of the match for dissenting from the referee's decision. Just three minutes later, he received a second yellow card for a foul and was sent off. Van Dyke said in a post-match interview, "I don't understand why he showed me the first yellow card. As captain, I am entitled to communicate with the referee and I was talking to him with respect, but he still decided to give me the yellow card."
Asked if he was less frustrated with the red card because of the outcome of the game, Van Dyke responded, "Yes, you never want to get a red card, especially in this way. But now that it's happened, we have to accept it. The team showed resilience despite being a man short and ended up with a draw."
Van Dyke will not be available for the match against Germany due to the red card he received. In response, he said, "I will stay with the national team and continue to play for the team. This will not change because I am suspended. I will return in better shape to help the team do well in the upcoming matches."
