The goal conceded by Standard against OHL has caused a lot of ink to flow. For the management of the end of matches, but especially for the offensive fault claimed by the Liégeois.
Every Monday, Jonathan Lardot’s appearance in Under Review is an increasingly anticipated moment, to have the official point of view of the refereeing department on the contested phases of the weekend.
One of them concerned the Louvanist equalizer in the moneytime at Standard. The Rouches deplored Mickaël Biron’s push on Ibe Hautekiet, which then allowed Federico Ricca to recover the ball and score.
A very real push
The Liège defender couldn’t believe it: “There’s a foul. I get my leg blocked when I’m clearing. If in the opposite situation a defender does that to an attacker in the box, it’s still a penalty” lamented -he immediately after the meeting.
Jonathan Lardot goes in his direction: “The OHL attacker arrives behind the Standard defender. There is clear contact. I would have preferred a VAR intervention, especially at this moment of the match” he confirms.
Beyond the immediate decision of the main referee, it is therefore the non-intervention of the VAR which raises questions: “These are things which we will discuss internally, but obviously there was an error in the process “. A recognized error that will make Ivan Leko laugh yellow.
