Rennes manager Julien Stephan said he had ridden an “emotional elevator” after his side had a dramatic late equaliser chalked off in Thursday’s Europa League match against Villarreal due to one of football’s little-known rules.
“If the player taking the kick-off touches the ball again before it has touched another player, an indirect free kick … is awarded,” the law states.
“I knew the rule existed for penalties, I didn’t know it existed for free kicks,” Stephan said.
