Overview
- Referee Benoît Bastien used the stadium speakers to explain a VAR check and announced no penalty with a free kick to Lyon.
- Panos Katseris was judged to have fouled Alfonso Moreira before Bamba Dieng went down, which led to the review.
- The on-field announcement marked the first public use of Ligue 1’s new sonorisation system after earlier installation at PSG–Toulouse.
- Lyon beat Lorient 2–0, ending a nine-match winless run and moving up to fifth place in the table.
- French refereeing officials have pushed to make on-mic explanations standard next season if stadium sound allows, echoing systems used at the Women’s World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.
