Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Auxerre was quick to react. This Sunday, OL hosted the Auxerrois for the 9th day of Ligue 1, and the match had an incredible moment. After 40 rather boring minutes, the match changed following a surprising incident of play. On a poorly adjusted cross from Fofana, Mikautadze tried to touch the ball when Mensah cleared it. While the referee seemed to be preparing to whistle a goal kick, the VAR finally intervened to award a penalty, converted by Mikautadze (1-0). This decision aroused the anger of Auxerre, and the staff asked the team to stop the match, claiming that the referee had restarted the game before returning to the action of the penalty, which is not authorized . The assistant coach was even expelled when the players wanted to leave the field. In the middle of the match, the Auxerre club decided to file a technical reservation to contest the decision, which delayed the penalty by more than 15 minutes. Speaking to DAZN, Auxerre central defender Jubal expressed his point of view: “The ball goes out, in my opinion. The referee whistled before, we stopped, then there was contact If he whistled before, it's normal, I told him, but he knows he whistled before, there's nothing to do. “
