In the absence of Will Still, who was suspended, it was his brother Edward who wore the coaching cap for the RC Lens-Olympique de Marseille match. Trailing 2-0, the Sang et Or reduced the gap thanks to Fulgini, and Labeau-Lascary thought he could deliver his team by equalizing at the very end of the game. But Lens ultimately lost 1-3.
“We had a top-notch first half, we put Marseille in a lot of difficulty. It was up to us to kill the match, we had enough dangerous situations, underlines Edward Still at the microphone of beIN Sports. When this is not the case, we have to better manage the start of the second half, which we did not do well. There is this end of match situation which is strange. »
In fact, the referee of the game was recalled by the VAR for a foul occurring several tens of meters before Rémy Labeau-Lascary's goal for the 2-2. The Lensois goal was therefore refused. A decision which also pushed the general director of the club, Pierre Dréossi to speak out. “At the time, the referee, who let the whole match play and allowed a pleasant match, was next to the action. He interprets and tells himself that there is no fault. He comes back to it quite a long time later, 90 meters later. It's a shame. Where will VAR stop? You need to know when the VAR stops (to come back to a situation). It's frustrating, the players celebrated and deserved the 2-2. Everything would have been possible after that. »
