The video refereeing had some work during the last ten minutes of the match between PSG and Rennes, this Sunday at the Parc des Princes. After a first penalty awarded then refused to the Parisians (84th), the opposite scenario occurred in the final moments of the game. Gonçalo Ramos, already involved in the first situation, was mowed down by Mandanda and only obtained justice after the intervention of the VAR (90th + 7). The Portuguese striker himself transformed the decision and snatched a draw (1-1).
In the first situation (84th), the images leave room for doubt. Launched towards the ball, on the side of the area, near the goal line, Gonçalo Ramos was touched by Guéla Doué. The young Rennes defender (21 years old) saw the Portuguese arrive at the last moment, and caught him with an arm reflex. Bastien Dechepy first reported a foul, then, after the intervention of the VAR, changed his decision. Difficult to say if the Breton’s intervention was voluntary, but he nevertheless seems to have seen the Parisian arrive.
The second penalty, this time awarded to PSG, is clearer. In the area, Gonçalo Ramos played against several opponents before being brought down by Steve Mandanda, coming out of his goal. “He played the shot well,” declared the French goalkeeper after the match, speaking to Canal +, frustrated with the decision. In slow motion, we see that he drops before touching me. »
Full of composure, the Portuguese international striker scored powerfully, with a cross shot into the Rennes top corner. The refereeing decisions thus weighed heavily during this match, since Paris could have conceded its first defeat since November 7 in Milan (2-1).
In this part, Rennais Amine Gouiri opened the scoring with a sublime goal, perhaps one of the most beautiful of the season in Ligue 1. Insufficient for the Breton team, ultimately held in check by Paris Saint- Germain.
