Ai says:
The referee holds the sole authority to abandon a match. This decision is usually made after consultation with both team captains and managers, with the primary concern being the safety of the players.
While a full replay is the most common outcome, the EFL Board possesses the discretion to rule on the matter differently. They may consider ordering the result at the time of the abandonment to stand if they deem it to be in the best interest of the competition and fair to both teams involved. Factors that could influence this decision, though not explicitly defined, might include the point in the season, the potential for fixture congestion, and the specific circumstances leading to the abandonment.
Therefore, while the team leading 1-0 at the 79th minute would hope for the result to be upheld, they, along with their opponents, will have to await the official verdict from the EFL. The standard expectation, however, remains that a new 90-minute fixture will be arranged
