The end of the MHSC-FC Nantes match on Friday in Ligue 1 was marked by a terrifying foul from Arnaud Nordin on Nicolas Cozza, who was hit in the head. The Montpellier striker was logically excluded for this gesture against his former teammate.
Quickly led to La Mosson on a goal from Akor Adams in the second minute of the game, Friday at the opening of the 31st day of Ligue 1, FC Nantes, which is still under threat in the race to maintain, equalized five minutes later thanks to Matthis Abline (7th). The Canaries gradually took the upper hand and pushed at the end of the match without managing to come away with three points from Hérault (1-1).
The added time of the match was disrupted by two exclusions on the Pailladin side, Lucas Mincarelli (91st) then Arnaud Nordin (94th). The second’s fault is absolutely horrible. On a ball pushed back by his defense, the striker tried to clear in an acrobatic manner and kicked with his left foot right in the head of Nicolas Cozza, his teammate from last season at MHSC.
Stitches for Cozza
The match referee, Mr. Stinat, instantly excluded Nordin in the face of the appalling violence of the foul. Cozza (loaned to the FCN during this second part of the season from Wolfsburg) got up, had stitches put on his head and was strapped, even remaining on the pitch…
“We were afraid, because it’s a gesture… It’s not intentional, we know the player, Nordin, it’s a poorly controlled gesture, it’s going pretty well for Nico, we’re reassured about that”, launched Florent Mollet, the attacking midfielder of the Canaries (who also passed through Montpellier), in front of the Prime Video camera. Arnaud Nordin quickly went to apologize to Nicolas Cozza after the game.
