LE SCAN SPORT – Ibrahima Wadji triggered the revolt of OM players after scoring a goal with his hand, feigning a header.
Completely lunar scene during the return match of the Europa League Conference between Qarabag and OM this Thursday evening. A goal from the hand, like the famous “hand of Vata” which had eliminated OM in the semi-finals of the European Cup of Champions Clubs in 1990: Thursday in Baku against Qarabag, Marseille conceded a goal scored from the hand by Ibrahima Wadji, who finally recognized his gesture, pushing the referee to cancel the goal. There is no VAR in the Europa League Conference and it took several minutes of discussions and anger in the Marseille camp, with in particular Matteo Guendouzi, furious, for the affair to be resolved.
On a cross from the left, Senegalese striker Ibrahima Wadji had scored well with his hand, with a volleyball gesture, then mimicked by many Marseille players. In a burning atmosphere, Wadji finally left to discuss with his trainer Gurban Gurbanov. They then exchanged a few words with Polish referee Bartosz Frankowski, who canceled the goal and gave OM a free kick.
