A few minutes before the break, the tension rose a notch in Lyon yesterday. Jérémy Stinat had just awarded the Gones a penalty hotly contested by the Auxerres, who accused him of having whistled a six-yarder before the foul. A long discussion followed between the two captains, Jubal and Nemanja Matic, brought together by the referee in the company of one of his assistants. Stinat, pen in hand, then took a form to record a technical reservation. “This is an opportunity for team captains if they feel the referee has made a mistake, enlightens the former international referee and consultant for the L’Équipe channel Saïd Ennjimi. The referee then summons the two captains and his assistant, then notes the complainant’s statements in front of them. To be valid, the reserve must be deposited on the field at the stoppage of play following the contested decision. » Which explains the long minutes of interruption following the penalty awarded, then transformed by Georges Mikautadze, during which the official transcribed Jubal’s words.
