During this match, the Nice Youcef Atal was the victim of a terrible murderous tackle from Domingues, visibly frustrated captain in the 94th minute. The 40-year-old tackled his opponent at the knee, while the latter had already dribbled past him. The referee’s decision is even more surprising than Domingues’ tackle since he only received a yellow card, although he then pushed Nabil Bentaleb.
