It was one of the most anticipated new features of the weekend in Ligue 1. Under the leadership of Ligue 1+ broadcaster and French football leader, LFP allowed the installation of on-board cameras on the referees of the Paris FC-Rennes and OL-PSG matches, offering viewers innovative camera angles.
If this innovation, already implemented by FIFA during last summer’s Club World Cup and used by Serie A since the start of the season, was of little use on Friday evening during PFC’s behind-closed-doors defeat against the Bretons (0-1), then the scenario is much more conducive to its use this Sunday.
Particularly spectacular, the clash between the Lyonnais and Parisiens produced five goals, all captured in “Ref Cam” mode and published via a compilation posted online at
A goal marred by a potential foul from Vitinha early in the action, found at the feet of Tanner Tessmann, was described as a “scandal” by Jorge Maciel to the announcer at the end of the match.
“You forgot one goal when editing”
Enough to infuriate OL supporters, very angry on social media, along with Rhone players and staff. “I think you guys forgot one goal when editing,” joked one internet user in the publication’s comments.
Another controversial move, chosen by the Lyon board, did not appear in the best-of Ligue 1+. Jorge Maciel, Paulo Fonseca’s assistant on Gones’ bench, had targeted, in addition to Kvara’s goal, the foul committed in the Paris area by Kang-in Lee on Nicolás Tagliafico. “It was a penalty and a red card,” exclaimed the technician after the match, also furious at his Argentinian left-back’s sending off in stoppage time.
In addition to the goals scored by both teams, this montage also allows you to experience the throw live with Benoît Bastien, the match referee, and the two captains, as well as the final whistle. The images are accompanied by the voices of officials officiating the match, working with VAR to validate various achievements.
