An arbitration expert has given his opinion on the sending off of Saudi footballer Saud Abdul Hamid during Lens’ 1-1 draw with Nice in the French league yesterday, Saturday.

Saudi Al-Riyadiya newspaper arbitration analyst Muhammad Kamal Risha said that the decision of the referee of the “Nice”-“Lens” match to send off Abdul Hamid was correct.

Risha defended the referee’s decision to show a red card to the “Lance” player in the 81st minute, justifying it by the fact that the interference did not allow the opponent a clear chance to score a goal.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw as Lens took the lead in the 60th minute through France’s Alain Saint-Maximin and Nice equalized in the 84th minute through Tunisian star Ali Al-Abdi, taking advantage of a numerical disadvantage following the dismissal of Saud Abdel Hamid, who has been brilliant in the French league this season.
