A week ago, the Montpellier – Clermont match in Ligue 1 had to be abandoned in injury time. This was because Montpellier fans threw a burning petard at goalkeeper Mory Diaw (30).

Six days later, another match was abandoned in France on Saturday evening. This time in the 4th round of the women’s championship. And again fireworks were the trigger. Shortly after the start of the second half between Paris Saint-Germain with Swiss Nati player Ramona Bachmann (32) and Reims, the players ran back to the dressing room. Because suddenly fireworks rained on the lawn and the stands. It was detonated from outside the stadium.

First interrupted and then cancelled

The match was initially suspended for around 40 minutes before the referees decided to stop completely as safety was no longer guaranteed. At that moment it was 0-0. The match took place at the Stade Léo-Lagrange in Poissy because the pitch at PSG’s home ground, the Stade Georges-Lefèvre, was infected with a fungus.

As “RMC Sport” reports, the alleged perpetrators are three people who were denied access to the stadium. The reason? They had no identification with them. According to several sources, they then threatened to interrupt the game before moving from the entrance in the direction from which the fireworks were being set off. Not only do they face consequences, but PSG as a host club could also face consequences. It will be decided on Thursday how the match will continue. Because the fireworks were set off outside the stadium, a forfeit cannot be declared. (beer)
