the images of the surprising resumption of the match… 38 days after kick-off

Started on October 26, the match of the 10th day of Ligue 2 between AC and resumed this Tuesday behind closed doors, to end in a sad 0-0. The kickoff was given with a dropped ball.

This is a rare enough situation to be highlighted. On October 26, AC Ajaccio and SC Bastia were unable to complete the match of the 10th day of Ligue 2 (0-0), interrupted in the 42nd minute after incidents in the stands, then that Bastia supporters were banned from traveling. Although the game was initially scheduled to resume the same evening, a violent storm decided otherwise, making the pitch impassable. 38 days later, the two teams finally met in a François-Coty stadium behind closed doors.

No regulatory half-time break

For this restart, no classic kick-off, but a dropped ball from Olivier Thual to restart the debates in the 42nd minute. Barely time for the organizations to heat up before half-time arrived. A break far from the regulation quarter of an hour given the scenario.

Once the referee's two whistles were blown, the 22 players did not return to the locker room but just changed sides, before the second half officially resumed to finally see the match through to the end. Without spectators therefore, and without goal (0-0).
