Eidevall's Retaliation

Following the altercation, Eidevall wasted no time in refuting Hayes' accusations of male aggression. In a clear rebuttal, he urged Hayes to reflect on her own conduct rather than casting aspersions on others.

Eidevall, according to Goal, said, "I think there is definitely a way you behave in the technical area, there is also a way you behave after the game, being a good winner, but you also need to be a good loser and be responsible in both those situations. I’m happy with the way I conduct myself and others need to look in the mirror and see if they’re happy with themselves."
