In a match between Olympique Lyonnais (OL) and Olympique de Marseille (OM), a penalty was granted to OL following a disputed action in the Marseille area involving Abner. The arbitrator found that the OM goaltender did not touch the ball and struck the Lyon attacker. However, after consulting the video referee, the decision was reversed. The video analysis revealed that the Lyon attacker had deliberately collapsed on the ground after pushing the ball, simulating a mistake to get a penalty. This action was described as simulation, in accordance with the rules in force, and the attacker was warned of anti-sport behaviour.
In addition, Olympique Lyonnais provided the list of its 25 players selected for the next season of Ligue Europa. This list includes players such as Domiink Greif, Rรฉmy Descรฉamps, and several others, covering different positions. This selection reflects OL’s willingness to maintain a competitive workforce for the European competition, with a mix of young talent and experienced players. The composition of the team for the upcoming season is a key element of the club’s sport strategy.
Finally, the Disciplinary Commission of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) issued several disciplinary sanctions for incidents that occurred during recent Ligue 1 days. These sanctions include suspensions for players and coaches, as well as denials of access to official areas. For example, Rabby NZINGOULA (RC Strasbourg Alsace) and Sadibou SANร (FC Metz) were suspended for three games, while others received less severe sanctions. Sanctions were also imposed on coaches for inappropriate behaviour in the field.
