Saturday, at half-time of the match, dozens of Lensois supporters invaded the field to do battle with Lille's parking lot. The clashes, limited by the intervention of the CRS, left six slightly injured. Two spectators were arrested, including one for having launched a siege on the police. He was tried in immediate appearance on Monday. As a result of these incidents, the start of the second half was postponed by 30 minutes.
The League's disciplinary committee, which usually meets on Wednesdays, has already dealt with similar cases this season involving supporters.
On August 22, the Mediterranean derby between Nice and Marseille was interrupted in the 75th minute after incidents between players, supporters and members of the management of the two clubs.
In particular, blows had been exchanged.
The disciplinary committee imposed on Nice a withdrawal of two points (including one suspended) as well as the closed door of its stadium for three games.
The poster must also be replayed, on neutral ground.
For Montpellier-Marseille (2-3), at the beginning of August, interrupted for a few minutes due to projectiles launched on the lawn, the committee had decided to close, for three matches, the two incriminated stands.
