Contested during the meeting between Stade Rennais and OL, after excluding Guéla Doué in the 5th minute on Sunday, Stéphanie Frappart was jostled by the colossus Nemanja Matic, whom she had just warned.
The image is quite impressive: Nemanja Matic, 1.94 m, manhandling Stéphanie Frappart, 1.64 m, in front of cameras around the world. The 35-year-old Serbian midfielder did not come far from being excluded by shoving the Rennes-OL referee, who had just shown him a yellow card in the 75th minute of the match, Sunday afternoon in Ligue 1.

The 39-year-old Val-d’Oisienne experienced a particularly difficult encounter after excluding Guéla Doué in the 5th minute, for a nasty sole on Nicolas Tagliafico. A red card, not scandalous, but which turned the match into a very bad spirit, with a referee who did what she could to satisfy the two teams… And the Roazhon Park public took the referee to task, the Reds and Black losing 1-0 against Les Gones.
As a reminder, Stéphanie Frappart became the first woman to referee in Ligue 1, in 2019, then the first woman to officiate in the Champions League (in 2020) or the first referee to direct a World Cup match (in 2022).
