Abu Francis sees first career red as FC Nordsjaelland defeat Sonderjyske

The Ghanaian midfielder was given his first marching orders ever, albeit, his team recorded an away victory against Michael Boris’ men

Abu Francis was sent off for the first time ever in his professional career as FC Nordsjaelland secured a 2-0 away win over Sonderjyske in Monday’s Danish Superliga outing.

Playing his third game in the 2021-22 campaign, the 20-year-old was shown the way out by referee Jens Maae.

A dangerous tackle on Duplexe Tchamba in the 93rd minute saw him red-carded – thus, seeing Flemming Pedersen’s team reduced to 10 men.

Francis was initially cautioned by Maae, however, VAR replays adjudged that the former Right to Dream player had launched a risky attack on the Cameroonian defender.
