The situation worsened when Ibrahima Konate appeared to sustain a worrying injury following a challenge from William Osula in the penalty area.
Despite winning the ball in the altercation, Konate found himself on the receiving end of Osula’s reckless challenge, as Osula wrapped his legs around the French defender’s knee.
Referee Stuart Attwell’s decision to overlook the incident left many puzzled, as he seemed to disregard the possibility of awarding a penalty without addressing Osula’s dangerous tackle on Konate.
Despite the apparent severity of the challenge and its clear intent, there was no acknowledgment of Osula’s actions. Play briefly continued before Attwell halted the game to allow Konate to receive treatment for his injury.
To the surprise of many, Konate managed to carry on playing for the remainder of the match despite initial concerns raised by the challenge.
Despite the injury delay of over two minutes, VAR Chris Kavanagh did not intervene, leading to fans’ confusion over the lack of action taken against Osula for his reckless tackle.
The incident prompted questions about the effectiveness of VAR in safeguarding player safety and preventing dangerous challenges from going unpunished.
