Zapping But! Football Club RC Lens: should the club definitely recruit Kalimuendo?
Guilty of a “Harald Schumacher” outing on Moses Simon in the 19th minute of the Lens – Nantes match (2-2) this Saturday, Jean-Louis Leca received the third red card of his career in Ligue 1. A first since the Corsican porter, ex of SC Bastia, put down his suitcases in the North of France.
For Lens, the exclusion of a goalkeeper is something extremely rare. Indeed, over the last 60 seasons recorded, the Twitter account Stats du foot tells us that this scenario only occurred once during the 2005-06 season.
The strange parallel with Itandje in 2006
At the time, Charles Itandje had left his partners to ten at the Vélodrome against OM. Guilty of a gesture of irritation on Franck Ribéry when the score was 1-0 for the Phocaeans, the Cameroonian had already not prevented his team from coming back to score at the end thanks to Vitorino Hilton.
Jean-Louis Leca becomes the 2nd goalkeeper of the @RCLens to receive a red card over the last 60 seasons in @Ligue1UberEats after Charles Itandje facing the@OM_Officiel on January 4, 2006. @PSSportsFR #RCLFCN

Leca sees red, it’s extremely rare in Lens
Sanctioned with a red card for having cut Moses Simon during RC Lens – FC Nantes, Jean-Louis Leca is only the second goalkeeper of the Sang et Or excluded in Ligue 1 … It had only happened once in 2006 with an eerily similar result.
