An Onslaught Of Red Cards Caused The France U18 Match To Be Abandoned

The hosts (france) received four red cards in the final 20 minutes of the second half of France’s Under-18 international match versus Poland on Sunday in Limoges, which was called off.

The World Cup champion France, led by Bernard Diomede, opened the four-team tournament’s championship game ahead of Poland on goal differential.

The scores were tied 2-2 at halftime, but France began to unravel in the 55th minute when Paris Saint-Germain’s Ilyes Housni, who had scored their opener, was sent off.

Five minutes later, Rennes defender Jeanuel Belocian came on.

Poland gained the lead in the 70th minute while playing with nine men.

Yoni Gomis, a defender for Le Havre, was sent off in the 72nd minute as France began to crumble. In the 75th minute, Saint-Etienne attacker Darnell Eric Bile came on. Even though France still had seven players on the field, the match was abandoned and Poland claimed the title.
