Committee cuts Endrick’s ban after red card in France | OneFootball

The Ligue 1 disciplinary committee annulled this Wednesday (11) the straight red card given to Endrick in last Saturday’s (7) match in the French Championship.

The punishment was reclassified as a second yellow card, and the Brazilian will only have to serve a suspension in the next game, against Nice.

If the red card had been upheld, he would have missed at least Lyon’s next two Ligue 1 fixtures.

Endrick was sent off in the second half of the away win against Nantes.

Initially, the referee showed him a second yellow card, but after a VAR review, he changed his decision and opted for a straight red.

In the incident, Endrick was fighting for space against Dehmaine Tabibou near the sideline and ended up kicking his opponent’s leg while running.

See below how the play unfolded:

The French Championship match was tense for Endrick from the very beginning.

Within seconds of the game starting, he suffered a hard foul from Matthis Abline, who was not booked by the referee.

Shortly after, in the second minute of the match, the Brazilian “retaliated” and received a yellow card after pulling the same Abline’s shirt, preventing a quick break by Nantes.
