[Vidéo] The refereeing department justifies the cancellation of RC Lens' equalizing goal against OM

The national refereeing department has made a habit of reviewing certain significant decisions after each day of the championship. In a press release, she decided to comment on the decision of Eric Wattellier's refereeing body to cancel RC Lens' equalizing goal at 2-2 against OM. We then returned to a fault ofAngelo Fulgini for a “charge in the back” from Bilal Nadir in front of Brice Samba's area, giving OM the opportunity to take the lead at 3-1 on a free kick thanks to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Here is the analysis of the national arbitration department: “ The Lens player's charge, committed deliberately and recklessly at the start of an offensive phase ending with a goal scored, prevents the Marseille player from playing the ball normally. It thus constitutes a fault within the meaning of the Laws of the game. In accordance with the protocol for implementing video assistance to refereeing, the referee must here “view the action until the start of the offensive phase leading to the goal and (…) the recovery of the ball at the origin of the start of this phase of play”. The video referee therefore alerted the referee before the game resumed and invited him to watch at the side of the field. The goal was thus logically refused and the game was correctly resumed with a direct free kick punishing the initial fault. » The LFP also broadcasts video support in addition to this analysis, which can be found below.
