how on earth could that happen and no-one noticed. I’d expect the other team or the teams fans to be noticing it and raising it. If it had happened at a youth game - I’d be noticing it.
The stand side linesman / 4th official will be in trouble - that’s their job at any sub (although ref has responsibility) .

Edit: it’s not clear from the article how long they had 12 men for or who noticed it.

I read it a couple of days ago and if memory serves I think it was late in the game.
It lasted a minute apparently before Van Persie noticed and told the ref.

The complaint (apart from the obvious) is that with 12 players they got an attacking throw in. The extra player then left the pitch but they scored from the throw in.

Ice hockey has an offence 'Too many men on the ice', which is not uncommon and results in a two-minute bench penalty.

Maybe one of the players was that rubbish it was like playing with 2 men short.

That player would absolutely have been doing 'unseen work'.

Ghosting in and out of the game.
