Getting around Corsica can sometimes be confusing. If they had not seen the derby of October 27 between AC Ajaccio and SC Bastia stopped just before half-time and postponed to December 3, the people of Lorient had the opportunity to remember it. After the exclusion of Janneh (32') for a strong tackle on Ponceau, a smoke bomb landed on the pitch at the Armand-Cesari stadium, temporarily interrupting the match.
Then, when play resumed, the linesman reported having been the target of several projectiles, lighters, drink capsules and fries. It was too much for the referee of the match, Willy Delajod, who sent everyone back to the locker room for around forty minutes… Interrupted in the 38th minute, the game finally resumed at 9:15 p.m. , after a short press conference.

“Regrets, obviously”
“There are regrets, obviously. It's insufficient. We have to weigh more in front,” admitted the FCL captain but like his coach, he was rather satisfied to leave with one more point. “We had to make amends, especially in relation to our last away match (defeat to Clermont 2-1). I think Bastia was a good test. And I think the test is conclusive. »
Particularly in terms of defensive solidity. “We had to stay very concentrated, very attentive, because with the desire to score, sometimes, we projected ourselves forward in large numbers. And Bastia was waiting for us, hoping to project themselves with the speed that characterizes their attackers. » In any case, once again, FC Lorient missed the opportunity to take the lead in Ligue 2 after Paris FC's draw at the start of the afternoon…
