Supporters banned from traveling

Television images show a crowd movement in a stand, with several people leaving the stands towards the pitch to take shelter from the scuffles. A smoke bomb was also thrown onto the lawn. After the deployment of several CRS, calm was difficult to return to the stands.

The match had still not resumed 45 minutes after the referee’s decision and was finally stopped for good, before being postponed to a later date due to weather conditions. Bastia supporters, initially banned from traveling, defied the bans, which is said to be the cause of the clashes that occurred at the Michel-Moretti stadium.
