Held in check by Reims (1-1) on Saturday evening in Ligue 1, OL pointed the finger at Stéphanie Frappart's refereeing after the match.
Olympique Lyonnais may have regrets. After a quality first period, during which they logically took the lead with a headed goal from Rayan Cherki, the Gones took their foot off the gas after returning from the locker room and saw Reims return to the score thanks to Diakité ( 1-1). A draw which leaves a bitter taste for the people of Rhone.
Beyond the result, the Lyonnais were very angry with the refereeing of Stéphanie Frappart at the final whistle. They believe they were wronged by the refereeing of the evening official, who, according to the new OL sports coordinator Daniel Congré, could have awarded two penalties to his team, following fouls on Malick Fofana and Alexandre Lacazette.
“These decisions were against us, it hurts a lot”
“We just want to understand. There were two contentious situations which were to our disadvantage this evening”railed Daniel Congré at the microphone of DAZN after the meeting, and added: “ I am obviously talking about the two penalties which were not whistled against Alexandre Lacazette and Malick Fofana. I would simply like to understand why Madame Frappart did not go to see the VAR. For me, there was definitely food for thought. I don't know if you saw the images, but clearly his support foot was hit. »
The former MHSC defender claimed “ uniformity in arbitral decisions ». « I'm disappointed for the players because it doesn't reward all their effortshe lamented. Tonight, I am very disappointed because these decisions really hurt us. The players deserved this victory. These decisions were against us, it hurts a lot. It's starting to be a lot, we're going to have to change things. »
