Referee Gaël Angoula sent the two teams back to the locker room after about ten minutes of play when in the stands some Ajaccien supporters wanted to do battle with their rivals from Bordeaux, who were nevertheless the subject of a prefectural decree prohibiting their movement. in Corsica. Seats were ripped off and a security barrier flew from a stadium stand, according to footage from broadcaster beIN Sports.
Bordeaux condemns the behavior of its supporters
The Bordeaux supporters involved were evacuated by the police. Six of them were slightly injured, as well as two stewards, according to the prefecture. Immediately after the end of the incidents, the refereeing corps, the match delegate and the security officials met to decide whether the game should resume. Finally, the conditions were deemed to meet the standards for the resumption of play after almost an hour of interruption (55 minutes). The match ended with the score of 0 to 0.
