- 2 years ago
The FRANCE U18 match against Poland has been ABANDONED after the squad was reduced to seven men.
Saint-Etienne youngster Darnell Bile saw the final red for a terrifying tackle and a nasty header.
Bile, 16, was sent off in the last straw for the visitors and a huge scrum followed.
As it was the FOURTH dismissal for the hosts, the referee was forced to cancel the rest of the game and award victory to Poland.
French youth players Ilyes Housni, Jeanuel Belocian and Malang Gomis were sent off in the 55th, 61st and 72nd minutes respectively.
It was then finally called off in the 74th minute in Limoges during the Lafarge Foot Avenir Tournament showcase, with the Eagles 3-2 up.
The Polish side had the ball next to the band.
Bile knocked him down with both feet in the air.
When the opposition player hit the chest with the young Frenchman, he proceeded to push his head into his face.
Bernard Diomede, the France U18 coach, failed to calm his players down and the game was lost.
Meanwhile, France's superstar striker Kylian Mbappe has admitted that he enjoys more freedom playing for the national team.
That's because he plays alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi at club level at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 22-year-old striker scored in France's 2-0 victory over Austria on Thursday night.
Mbappé said: "I play differently. They ask me other things here in relation to my club. I have a lot more freedom here.
