The end of the Côte d’Azur derby came prematurely for Vanderson this Sunday in Ligue 1. The AS Monaco right-back received his second yellow card following an altercation with Nice‘s Mohamed-Ali Cho (45th + 4). The conflict even gained momentum and could have turned into a general brawl.
The origin of the brawl was a somewhat ferocious gesture by Mohamed-Ali Cho. The Aiglons striker placed himself in front of Vanderson to prevent him from quickly taking a free kick on the Monegasque pitch. Then he got irritated and pushed the Nicoise, who threw himself to the ground.

Then the other players got involved, as well as a good part of each team’s bench. Ultimately, Jérémie Pignard, the referee of the match, put an end to this match. He then called the two protagonists to explain himself to them. And he sanctioned them with a yellow card.
Except that Vanderson had already taken some for a foul on Evan Guessand in midfield, moments earlier (35th)! The AS Monaco right-back then returned to the changing rooms.
