Lost connection to lichess and lost on time

In a recent game I lost connection to lichess and lost on time. My connection was not the problem as I am on a stable wired LAN, also other sites worked perfectly.

Is it possible to declare the game draw or maybe to cancel the result and play a re-match.

The final position was quite equal - in matter of fact my own evaluation tells me that black might even be slightly better:
If the error didn't happen directly at Lichess' servers , I fear it's bad luck for you.
(just as in every other online game)

And since the server managed to keep the game going for 159.2 seconds before it declared the timeout, I presume that it was still up and running.
This also happened to me and my friend, after his game ended we both lost connection.
Wonder if there's a error-log, just to check if this was due to downtime on lichess or somewhere between my end and lichess server
