Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo sent off after just nine seconds

Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off after just nine seconds against Angers in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Angers kicked off the match at the Allianz Riviera and immediately pushed forward with the ball before Todibo brought down striker Abdallah Sima, which the referee deemed to be a goal scoring opportunity and a red card offence.

The red card marks just the fourth time a player in any of Europe's top five leagues has received a red card less than a minute into a match since 2010.

Angers made use of their numerical advantage, taking the lead on 43 minutes through midfielder Nabil Bentaleb. Angers then saw a dismissal of their own as winger Sofiane Boufal was sent off on 62 minutes, but the visitors held on to claim victory.

Todibo, 22, joined Nice on loan from Barcelona in February 2021 before making the move permanent later that summer.
