Matchday 19: Bouaké FC beaten 2-1 by Mouna FC, a disallowed goal sparks debate
Behind at the break, the Stars tied the game around the hour mark before losing 2-1. The club disputes a goal ruled out for offside.
Bouaké FC lost 2-1 to Mouna FC on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, in Ligue 1 matchday 19. Kickoff was at 3:30 PM.
Trailing 1-0 at the break, the Stars equalized in the 60th minute. Four minutes later a fine counterattack gave them hope of taking the lead: the goal was first awarded by the referee, then ruled out for offside flagged by assistant referee no. 2.
The club released a video of the move. It points to a two-against-one situation, with a pass to a teammate positioned behind the ball, and questions how IFAB Law 11 (offside) was applied. “Soccer deserves clarity and fairness,” it concludes.
