After starting the game very well by scoring two goals, the Dogues were caught up by the Ti-Zerfs.
With the score at 2-2, Ngal’ayel Mukau scored the 3-2 goal for LOSC. A goal from a corner that sparked a lot of discussion!
Indeed, on the corner, the assistant referee raised his flag to indicate a goal kick. He judged that the corner had gone out of play before reaching the Brest penalty area. This signal caused a moment of hesitation among the Brest defenders, who more or less stopped defending.
Lille took advantage, with their young midfielder finding the back of the net. Except Clément Turpin, the match referee, signaled a few seconds after the goal that it was ultimately not valid, following his assistant’s decision.
The problem was, the ball hadn’t actually gone out, and VAR informed the main referee that the goal was indeed valid. Clément Turpin awarded the goal, which provoked anger and confusion among the Brest players, who hurried to… file a technical protest!
Crazy scenes and a story to be continued…
