Enyeama sees red as Lille draw 1-1 with Rennes

Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama saw red as his team Lille forced a 1-1 draw away to Rennes in the French Ligue 1.

Giovanni Sio tried to round Enyeama after being played through before referee Stephane Jochem adjudged he had been felled by the Super Eagles captain.

The game was held up after that as Lille players surrounded the referee in protest of the decision.

The resulting penalty was taken by Paul-Georges Ntep and was well saved by substitute goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

It was Enyeama’s first dismissal in the Ligue 1, and could now leave him with a one-game ban that would see him miss his side’s trip to Reims.

Lille are tenth of the log with seven points from six games.
