The Ligue de Football Professionnel took the decision after reviewing video footage of the incident and examining the referee’s official report.

The card had been issued during the match after Boudache was judged to have simulated a foul.

Nice vice-president Maurice Cohen said the decision to overturn the booking corrects what he described as an injustice.
