Saint-Etienne received withdrawal of a suspended point for the interruption of the derby against Lyon caused by the launches of coins on a referee, announced on Wednesday the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP), unlike OL requests.
As a reminder, a 28 -year -old Greens supporter, and suspected of being the one who threw the coin on the head of a touch referee, has already been placed in police custody. A firm sanction from a point would probably have condemned Saint-Etienne to return to Ligue 2 a season after having come back. That Sunday, the derby had been interrupted 45 minutes after coins were thrown to the assistant referee Mehdi Rahmouni, who was hit.
Since then, two Greens supporters have been identified by video surveillance cameras of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium and will be tried for these facts in October.
ASSE keeps his victory
They will have to “answer for aggravated heads of violence followed by total incapacity for work not exceeding eight days” and “projectile jet presenting a danger to the safety of people” during a sporting event, said the Stéphanois prosecutor’s office.
The referee, as well as the Professional Football League, the French Football Federation and AS Saint-Etienne have announced their intention to build up civilian parts. ASSE, penultimate of Ligue 1 and close to relegation, therefore retains its 2-1 victory acquired on April 20 for the 30th day of Ligue 1 and is still four lengths behind Le Havre, 16th and barragist, two matches from the end of the championship.
