Ajaccio beat Marseille 1-0 in the 38th and last day of Ligue 1 on Saturday. The match took place in a climate of high tension with incidents between supporters of the two clubs.
A journalist from France 3 was attacked by Marseille fans while he was parked at a petrol station near the stadium. The mayor of the city, Stéphane Sbraggia, asked Friday night for the cancellation of the match so that the fans, most of whom were to arrive Saturday, do not "expose themselves to a risk of violence"
