FC Lausanne-Sport played a 1-1 draw against Lugano on Wednesday evening.

What happened?

The match was marked by a controversial incident, as referee Urs Schnyder issued a second yellow card to Karim Sow, which was later corrected after VAR intervention.

Why is this important?

Lugano subsequently lodged a protest, as the VAR is only allowed to intervene in specific cases, such as goals, direct red cards, or potential penalty situations.

What comes next?

Referee Urs Schnyder explained after the game that the VAR had called him to review a possible last-man situation, but ultimately it was determined that Renato Steffen was offside. FC Lausanne-Sport remains in 9th place with 39 points from 33 games, 35 points behind league leaders FC Thun, and has only managed one win in its last five games, with a recent form of LLLLW.
