The match between Bastia and Ajaccio, counting for the 14th day of Ligue 2, was interrupted in the 37th minute after projectiles were thrown in the direction of one of the touchline referees.
The meeting security committee decided that the meeting, which kicked off at 8 p.m., would resume at 9:15 p.m.
“The safety of the players – my referee team as well as all the players – will be very important throughout the rest of the match. A security system will be put in place to protect Stéphane Panon, assistant No. 2,” match referee Willy Delajod told reporters.
While the score was 0 to 0 and the Bastiais had the ball, the referee stopped the game and sent the players back to the locker room after his linesman told him that they had been the target of projectiles, in particular “lighters , food and drinks,” according to images and information from broadcaster BeIN Sport.
This incident occurred a few minutes after the direct exclusion of Bastiais Jocelyn Janneh, author of an uncontrolled tackle on Lorientais Julien Ponceau (32nd).
