📸 The weekend’s controversial penalty in Ligue 1 | OneFootball

New controversial decision...

This Saturday afternoon, Nantes hosted Rennes for the 5th matchday of Ligue 1.

This Breton derby, already particularly heated since Quentin Merlin and Valentin Rongier, both trained at Nantes, signed with Rennes this summer, became even more tense after a controversial decision made by the match referee...

Esteban Lepaul, positioned on the right side, sent a low cross towards Mahdi Camara, inside the Nantes penalty area. Tylel Tati, the Nantes defender who had thrown himself in with a sliding tackle to stop the play, touched the ball with his hand, even though his arm was supporting him on the ground.

Despite a position that seemed rather natural, the referee awarded a penalty!

This incident has sparked a lot of discussion and allowed Stade Rennais to open the scoring! Rennes then doubled their lead shortly after. But in the second half, FC Nantes turned things around. The Canaries snatched a dramatic draw, 2-2, thanks to an equalizer in the very last second.

In your opinion, was it a penalty?
