The fact of the game: two penalties canceled for the MHSC

Threatening on a free kick from Savanier (27th), Montpellier thought it would obtain two penalties before Mr. Batta reversed his decision twice after intervention by the VAR. In the 38th minute, Téji Savanier, served by Nordin, collapsed following an intervention by Yunis Abdelhamid. But the former Rémois' sliding tackle was perfect and the match referee finally changed his mind. For having collapsed following an alleged contact with Pétrot, Al-Tamari received a warning for simulation (56th). Here again, it was the video assistance that made it possible to correct Mr. Batta's initial decision.
