Petition for France-Switzerland Euro 2020 clash to be replayed gets more than 250,000 signatures

An online petition calling for the Euro 2020 round-of-16 clash between France and Switzerland to be replayed has been signed by more than a quarter of a million people.

The petition was posted on French website Les Lignes Bougent by an aggrieved fan of Les Bleus, who was remonstrating over a perceived injustice at the end of the penalty shootout, which Switzerland won 5-4 to knock the world champions out of the tournament.

The petition claimed that Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer did not have his feet on or behind the goal line before saving Kylian Mbappe's decisive spot kick, in accordance with the Laws of the Game.
