It is a serious decision taken this Thursday by the Disciplinary Commission of the FFF against a player from FC Rouen, resident of National. On Friday, December 20, FCR hosted LOSC in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France in its Robert Diochon stadium. A 1-0 defeat on a goal from Ismaily in the 22nd minute despite multiple opportunities on the Norman side during the game. But the match ended on a negative note for the locals with the expulsion of Mustapha Benzia, the brother of former Lyon player Yassine Benzia.
FC Rouen will appeal
While the ball was out six meters, Swedish LOSC defender Gabriel Gudmundsson elbowed Mustaphia Benzia in the back. A gesture little appreciated by the Rouennais who responded with a gesture of humor by throwing the ball at the back of his head. Immediate response from Stéphanie Frappart who showed a red card. An expulsion with serious consequences for the 34-year-old player since he received a seven-match suspension. A decision that his club deplored on its X account: “The club regrets the extent of the sanction and will appeal this decision. We will keep you informed of possible outcomes.”
