Time-wasting penalty, a corner for Paris FC

A time-wasting penalty for Brice Samba

Brice Samba, the Rennes goalkeeper, was penalized a corner in the Rennes-PSG match, Sunday. The referee applied the new rule on time-wasting, which consists of giving a corner to the opposing team if the ball is not returned to play within 15 seconds.

This has caused the surprise of the French international, but also the Rennes bench, whose coach Franck Haise received explanations from the fourth referee.

A new rule for a better pace of play

The new rule was introduced during the last World Cup. It aims to ensure a better pace of play by giving a corner to the opposing team if the ball is not returned to play within 15 seconds.
