Following its April 22, 2026 meeting, the French football disciplinary committee made an unusual call regarding Augustine Boakye — a decision that could significantly impact Saint-Étienne’s season finale.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) issued a rare ruling after reviewing footage from Matchday 31 of Ligue 2 BKT. The disciplinary commission chose to cancel the yellow card shown to Augustine Boakye during the clash between SC Bastia and AS Saint-Étienne (2-0), officiated by Benoît Millot. Such reversals are highly uncommon and highlight the governing body’s commitment to correcting refereeing errors post-match.
This decision carries major implications for Saint-Étienne’s end-of-season push. Initially at risk of suspension, Boakye is now free to play against ESTAC Troyes at the iconic Stade Geoffroy-Guichard without disciplinary concerns. For fans and analysts alike, this could prove decisive in a tight Ligue 2 race, while also sparking broader discussions about the use of video review in disciplinary rulings.
