Goal-line technology was used to award a goal in France's Ligue 1 for the first time on Saturday when Kamil Grosicki scored for Rennes against Lorient.

Poland international Grosicki saw his 68th-minute free-kick pushed away by Lorient goalkeeper Benajmin Lecomte but a goal was given after a signal was sent to the referee's wristband, with replays indicating the entire ball had just crossed the line.

The technology, used in the English Premier League last season, was introduced to the French top flight, as well as in Italy and Germany, at the start of the 2015/16 campaign.
