French right-back Sidibé, world champion with the French national team, was sent off in just 43 seconds of a match without even touching the ball. Referee Romain Lissorgue did not hesitate to show the straight red card.

Referee Lissorgue's decision was considered firm and without room for discussion, given that the incident left no doubts about the severity of the foul committed by the French full-back.
