Villefranche won 1-0 against Dijon on Friday evening for the 14th day of National with a goal from Mokrane Bentoumi (57'). But the score remains anecdotal in this meeting marked by scuffles in the stands and several slips which led to the interruption of the game for half an hour.
“The two clubs victims of this behavior”
Everything degenerated in the 86th minute, four minutes from the end of regulation time when a fight broke out in the stands. This was followed by projectiles being thrown onto the pitch and smoke bombs being fired between the two camps of supporters of the two teams. Despite the speaker's calls for calm, nothing happened. The referee had to make the decision to interrupt the game which could only resume after a half-hour break.

-In a press release released after the meeting, the Burgundian club also complained of acts of racism: “ Racist insults were even uttered towards one of our players, to whom we give our full support this evening […]. This evening, the Football Club Villefranche Beaujolais, which welcomed us perfectly, as well as the DFCO, are both victims of this behavior. »
The Caladois club had already condemned a “serious and unacceptable racist insult” from a spectator during the match against Rouen in October.
