Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo was shown a red card and sent off just nine seconds after the game started.
Nice at that time faced Angers in the eighth match of Ligue 1 2022/2023 at the Allianz Riviera, Sunday (18/09/2022). As the host, Lucien Favre's team certainly wants to pick three points.
Moreover, they want to immediately improve its position in the standings. Unfortunately they started the game in an unimaginable way.
Because shortly after the first half kickoff, Nice had to play with only 10 players. Because their defender, Todibo, was immediately sent off by the referee!
The referee's red card for Todibo's moment
In that match, Angers got a kickoff quota. They immediately tried to suppress the Nice defense.
The Anger player then directs the ball into the right halfspace. But quickly the ball was given again to the player, namely Abdallah Sima who was trying to run in the middle of the field towards the penalty box.
At that moment, Jean-Clair Todibo tried to stop the opponent's attack. But instead of getting the ball, he tackled the opponent's leg.
The referee acted mercilessly. Todibo was immediately red carded.
Todibo himself certainly did not accept it. He tried to protest the referee's decision.
Nice Finally Lost
Nice's mission to pick three points in that match vanished. Because they were finally defeated by Angers.
The score was thin, 0-1 only. The only goal in the match was scored by Nabil Bentaleb, in the 43rd minute.
However, Angers actually played with only 10 players. Because in the 62nd minute, Sofiane Boufal was also sent off by the referee.
