N'Diaye unfairly picked up two yellow after he himself was first pulled over and then also firmly pushed in the back. However, his reaction earned him two yellow in the same phase: unseen. After the match, Hubert also received yellow when he went to ask for an explanation. The purple and white goalkeeper coach even got a red card under his nose. Read more »
