Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette elbowed Nantes' Nathan Zézé in the face. Referee Jérôme Brisard did not review the images of the incident.

Nantes coach Antoine Kombouaré demanded a red card against the Lyon striker. “What is this fucking VAR for? », then shouted KombOUaré. The match was played in a Beaujoire behind closed doors after Nantes was sanctioned by the League for the use of smoke bombs by the ultras of the Loire Brigade.
