Former Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off after just nine seconds for Nice against Angers in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Angers went on the attack from the kick-off at the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice and Todibo brought down striker Abdallah Sima with just nine seconds on the clock.
The referee ruled that the 22-year-old centre-back had denied the visitors a clear goalscoring opportunity and showed the former Toulouse player the red card.
Todibo joined Barcelona from Toulouse in 2019 but only made five appearances for the Catalan club.
After unproductive loan spells at Schalke and Benfica, Todibo impressed for a short spell at Nice in the second half of the 2020/21 season and made the move permanent this summer for a fee of around €8.5m. euros.
Angers went on to win the match against Nice 1-0, thanks to a 43rd-minute goal scored by former Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb.
