LIGUE 1: Lyon-Auxerre Match in Limbo: Controversial Penalty May Prompt Replay

Lyon's 2-2 draw with Auxerre could be replayed due to a disputed penalty, as Auxerre invoked a technical reservation allowing for post-match review.

The Ligue 1 clash between Lyon and Auxerre ended 2-2, but controversy surrounds the result. Auxerre may have the match replayed due to a disputed penalty awarded to Lyon.

Mikautadze converted the penalty in first-half stoppage time, sparking Auxerre's protests. The visitors claimed the referee had signaled a goal kick before the foul.

Auxerre captain Jubal Junior submitted a technical reservation, a Ligue 1 mechanism allowing post-match review. This could lead to the penalty being overturned and the match replayed.

According to LFP Regulations (Article 559), the technical reservation can be accepted if it influenced the match's outcome. The Professional Football League will review the case.

Highlights:

• Disputed penalty awarded to Lyon
• Auxerre invoked technical reservation for post-match review
• Match could be replayed if penalty is overturned
• LFP Regulations allow for technical reservations in disputed decisions

This unprecedented situation leaves the match result uncertain.
