The PSG was sanctioned this week by the authorities of the FFF. By bringing into play a player not registered on the score sheet, the club lost the capital three points to Albi, and at the same time the first place in the championship recovered by the OL.

The federal commission of settlements and contentious of the FFF, rendered Wednesday its decision concerning the reservations made concerning the match Albi - PSG, played during the first day.

In this match, Paris won on the score of 4-0 on the lawn of Albi, but these three points were removed to the PSG and awarded to the ASPTT. In question, the entry into play Sarah Palacin early in the second period instead of Perle Morroni, while the PSG led 1-0.

The problem is that Sarah Palacin was obviously not one of the 16 Parisian players on the scoresheet. An irregularity identified by Vanessa Cruchon, the referee of the meeting and who was therefore brought before the federal authorities responsible for enforcing the regulations.

If the time taken by the procedure, between the game played on September 10 and the decision this week, the penalty is no less logical. In the rules of the FFF, "the participation of a player not registered on the score sheet" is automatically penalized with a "match lost by penalty and the opposing club enjoys the points corresponding to the win of the match". In other words, this Parisian mistake costs them the three points and gives the win of the match in Albi while Paris would probably have won this match with or without Sarah Palacin on the ground.

In addition to these three points lost on "green carpet" in favor of Albi, the PSG is also inflicted an additional point of sanction by the FFF. A loss of four points that dramatically changes the physiognomy of the D1.

Indeed, this decision is losing Paris first place in the D1, in favor of OL which now outpaces PSG by one point. Montpellier is also ahead of Paris but with one more match. The penalty suffered by PSG also transforms the face of the season, putting pressure on Paris in the title race. The club of the capital from now on in the obligation to win all its matches and in particular the return match against Lyon on the lawn of Parc OL. What start the year of the "good foot" for the PSG who cash his first defeat and his first goal of the season by decision of the FFF.

For Albi, these three points also change things. The club Tarn is now two points behind Bordeaux with two games late to play at home against Soyaux and Olympique Marseille in the coming weeks.

The PSG now has the opportunity to appeal, to plead his case and seek the "leniency" of federal authorities. A soap opera that could continue on the second half of the season and weigh in the scenario of the D1, both at the top and bottom of the table.
