Ex-Lausanne goalie Diaw after petard attack: ‘I am still extremely shocked’

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Match abandoned in extra time – that happened on Sunday in Ligue 1. Montpellier fans caused a scandal in the match against Clermont Foot. The negative highlight: ex-Lausanne goalkeeper Mory Diaw (30) is pelted with a burning firework, which explodes right next to the Clermont goalkeeper. Diaw then had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.

Now the Frenchman with Senegalese roots is speaking out on social media. “It is difficult to find the right words after these events,” Diaw begins his statement. “After the many messages I have received, I would especially like to reassure you. I am doing well.” The study carried out on Monday would make it possible to “defend the colors of my country” together with the Senegalese national team. Diaw was nominated as the third goalkeeper by Senegal coach Aliou Cissé (47). for the friendly match against Cameroon.

The goalkeeper, who guarded the Lausanne goal from 2019 to 2022, was not injured, but the shock of the events was deep. “I am still very shocked by the attack. I don’t play football to be afraid on the field. I do this job because playing football is the thing I love most in the world.” Such behavior has no place in a stadium.

Montpellier must appear before the league committee

Words that Diaw’s opponent club also shared on Sunday. In a communiqué, Montpellier is stunned. “We are truly relieved that Mory Diaw was not injured and was able to fulfill his call-up to the national team.” The French club, where ex-FCZ defender Becir Omeragic (21) has been under contract since this summer, must now appear before the competition committee.

The match was abandoned when the score was 4-2 to Montpellier – how the match will be scored is still unclear. The perpetrator of the petard throwing was identified and taken into custody. (mo)
