Penalty cancelled against Chelsea, Sonia Bompastor outraged

The penalty awarded to Lauren James was overturned by the referee, leaving the Champions League match between Chelsea and OL Lyonnes in limbo. Sonia Bompastor, coach of the Blues, expressed her bewilderment at this decision on Wednesday evening.

The penalty call came after a contact between Lauren James and Damaris Egurrola. The incident occurred during the clash between Chelsea and OL Lyonnes, as part of the Champions League.

Convinced that her side should have been given at least one penalty, the coach said she received no explanation from the referee. She emphasized that the Blues deserved a decisive sanction.
