Suspension of a match for Diego Moreira after incident in Strasbourg

The Discipline Commission of the Professional Football League met on April 9, 2025 to discuss the follow-up to the incidents at the recent Ligue 1 McDonalds meetings. Following an in-depth analysis of the facts, the commission took decisions concerning several players, whose RC Strasbourg Alsace was particularly concerned by the sanction imposed on Diego Moreira. The latter, following his exclusion in the match between his team and the Stade de Reims, was sentenced to a suspension of a firm match.

The incident leading to this sanction occurred in the final moments of the game, following an action deemed contentious and the absence of penalty granted by referee Clรฉment Turpin, requested by the Strasbourg players. Diego Moreira, directly involved in the subsequent altercation, received a red card, justifying the pronounced suspension. This forced absence deprives the Racing Club of Strasbourg of an important player as he approaches a capital match.

Racing, in preparation for its meeting this Saturday against the Nice GOC at the Meinau, will now have to adapt its strategy and compose without Diego Moreira. The team and its supporters hope that this event will not compromise their performance and that collective determination will overcome this constraint and maintain sporting ambition.
