This Sunday evening, the Racing Club de Lens welcomes Paris Saint-Germain for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. Four days after Mr. Letexier’s incredible error in Monaco, here is the capital club which seems to be harmed by a new refereeing error.

Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 25th minute of play. The Moroccan international took home a cross from Désiré Doué on the left with his right foot. Almost immediately, the assistant referee raised his flag to signal an offside position.

Hakimi, his goal seemed very valid

However, the right side of the Rouge et Bleu was, it seems, not in an illegal position in view of the images. On its X account, PSG even expresses its incomprehension with a questioning emoji. Luis Enrique was also furious after this contentious decision.

On the famous social network, reactions were quick to pour in. “Hakimi not out of the game… The VAR for this binary situation is still a real step forward,”

for example, wrote the journalist Nabil Djellit. At this stage of the competition, namely the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, video assistance refereeing (VAR) is not available.
