UEFA Addresses Olivier Létang’s Concerns Over Controversial Penalty Denied to LOSC

The verdict from UEFA’s refereeing department may not sit well with LOSC. After losing to PAOK Salonika in a thrilling match (3-4), the Dogues felt wronged at the final whistle, especially following a denied penalty in the first half despite a clear shirt pull. “I have already written to Mr. Ceferin (president of UEFA), what happened tonight is unbelievable. Where is the delegate?” Olivier Létang expressed his frustration during halftime.

However, according to recent reports from L’Equipe, UEFA’s refereeing department, led by Italian Roberto Rosetti, does not contest the decision made by Nikola Dabanovic. They believe the incident was not as clear-cut, meaning both decisions (to award or not award a penalty) were valid. Consequently, Nikola Dabanovic will not face any penalties, unlike Olivier Létang, who may face serious repercussions.
