Lens-Nantes: Supporters demonstrate, match interrupted

Unusual and rather funny scene this Saturday evening in Lens during the match between the Sang et Or and Nantes.

While the 12th minute of play was playing, Clément Turpin made the decision to interrupt the match. The cause was the demonstration by RC Lens supporters, who threw dozens of tennis balls onto the lawn. Let us clarify that the goal of the Lensois supporters here was not to target or injure players or referees, but simply to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the LFP. Indeed, just after the massive launch of the tennis balls, several banners against the Professional Football League were displayed in the stands facing the camera. After about 3 minutes of interruption, the game was able to resume but the announcer indicated that if the incidents happened again, the match would be permanently interrupted.
