On the 76th minute of the match, France had a free kick. The ball goes into the area which was full of Croatians and French players. Bilic was seen falling to the ground with evident signs of pain. Spanish referee Jose Maria Garcia Aranda didn’t think too much. It was a straight red card for Blanc, and the only one in the international career of Le President.

At that moment, the match was 2-1 in favor of France, which would be the final result. The French goals came from Lilian Thuram while the Croatian one was scored by Davor Suker.

The controversy arises
