The French soccer governing body has ruled that a controversial "ghost goal" in a recent match was valid, rejecting claims from Auxerre's coach that the goal was impossible.

The decision, announced Wednesday, comes after video review determined the ball had crossed the goal line, though the coach argued it had not.

Associated Press reported the ruling on October 28, 2026.
