Just 43 seconds after entering the field, D. Sidibe was sent off. Without even touching the ball, the Frenchman harshly kicked Esteban Lepaul in the middle of the field and saw a red card in front of him.
D. Sidibe himself could hardly believe what had happened and held his head. However, the replay showed that he hit the opponent’s ankle, so the referee’s decision was correct.

According to “Opta” data, such a debut by D. Sidibe became a record. In the entire history of “Ligue 1,” no player coming off the bench had been sent off so quickly.
The previous record was 47 seconds.
This also painfully affected his team – the “Le Mans” club, left with ten players, lost the match 2:3.
