🎥 Offside or fair goal? Major controversy between Nantes and Lorient 💥 | OneFootball

This is going to get people talking.

This Sunday, Nantes hosted Lorient as part of Matchday 13 of Ligue 1. Second to last in the standings, the Canaries were desperately searching for points.

Struggling greatly in the first half, Nantes were not helped by a turn of events that went against them.

After a cross from the right, Nantes defender Chidozie Awaziem slid in and deflected the ball into his own net.

The only problem: the Nantes players believe that Anthony Lopes left his line because of the presence of Lorient striker Sambou Soumano... who appeared to be clearly offside.

But despite these protests, VAR and the referee allowed the goal to stand. Fortunately for them, Nantes eventually equalized thanks to... Chidozie Awaziem.
