The Direction de l’Arbitrage says the challenge met Law 12 for serious foul play requiring dismissal.

Overview

  • Referee Clément Turpin was expected to conduct a pitchside VAR review to correct the on-field decision, according to the FFF’s statement.
  • The incident was described as an uncontrolled, late challenge executed with speed and intensity that endangered the goalkeeper’s physical integrity under Law 12.
  • Le Parisien reported VAR audio indicating officials minimized the severity on replay, calling the impact low and closing the check after a yellow card was shown.
  • Antony Gautier had already said a dismissal was warranted on Monday, and no retrospective sanction was announced as media figures, including Jérôme Rothen, voiced strong criticism.
