Reinildo Mandava was shown a straight red card as Lille played a 1-1 draw Rennes in Saturday’s French Ligue 1 clash.
The left back was dismissed by referee Clement Turpin in the 43rd minute after he launched a fatal tackle on Brazil’s Raphinha. That was the first time the Mozambican would be given the marching orders since he began his career in 2012 at Ferroviario da Beira.
Rennes had earlier been reduced to 10 men after Sacha Boey was sent off in the 35th minute for stamping his foot on Reinildo’s face.
