Nantes-Lyon: “I have the balls”, for Kombouaré, Lacazette’s fault deserved red

Antoine Kombouaré, don't lose your temper. For him, Alexandre Lacaette's foul on Zézé in an aerial duel in the 53rd minute of play deserves "red every day". Arriving with his elbows extended, the OL attacker violently hit his opponent's face, bleeding.

“I am very angry with the referee. The fourth referee says: we checked up there (at VAR), they say it's a shoulder hit. I at least wanted him (Mr. Brisard) to go and see the images again. When I saw the action again, but I'm scandalized, I'm upset" indicated Antoine Kombouaré after the match. At that time, the Canaries were still leading 1-0 before collapsing in the last quarter of an hour of the match.

A point of view shared by Nantes captain Pedro Chirivella and by the offending player himself. “I'm not leaving with the intention of elbowing, but we can see in the images that there is contact. I could have understood if I had taken a red” admitted the former French international.

After this new victory, the Lyonnais have 38 points and are only 6 points from a European place after their catastrophic start to the season. FC Nantes, for its part, is only two points ahead of play-off Lorient.
