It's not the first time this season, but the match Ligue 2 between the SC Bastia and the F.C. Lorient at Furiani, which takes place this Saturday 11/23/2024 as part of the 14th day, was unfortunately interrupted in the middle of the first half! While the referee made an important decision, that of sending off Jocelyn Janneh guilty of a rather dangerous foul on Ponceau, jets of projectiles and smoke bombs coming from the stands rained down on the pitch, apparently in the direction of the linesman near the stands.

The match temporarily resumed a few minutes later before stopping for a longer period, the Lorient players quickly returning to the locker room to stay focused. Benoît Tavenot, for his part, gathered his players on the field for a while while Frédéric Antonetti went directly to address the supporters who had come to encourage the Turchini to ensure that the match resumed without incident later. As these lines are written, the Bastiais have also returned to the locker room. We are informed of an imminent resumption of the match, Mr. Delajod having given a favorable decision to continue the game from 9:15 p.m., emanating from the crisis meeting of the security committee.
