It was a harmless action, as we see every week on the lawns of Ligue 1. 74th minute: Wissam Ben Yedder is launched on the left side. Valère Germain, who entered the game twenty minutes after the Monegasque equalizer, sets off in pursuit of him with energy and accompanies the striker near the corner post.

Without hiding a hint of annoyance, the former Porto coach listed all the decisions he deemed unfair during this meeting. By evoking, first, the fault of Krépin Diatta who would have deserved to be excluded according to him, while the rookie of the ASM was simply warned for a big load on Leonardo Balerdi (81st).
