After a series of riots at first division football games in France, there are now sanctions for the clubs involved.
The disciplinary committee of the soccer league in Paris announced that there was one point deduction on probation each for the RC Lens, Lille OSC and Olympique Marseille.
Marseille and Lille fans are also not allowed to go to away games until the end of the year.
Previously, as a temporary measure, individual games had already taken place without fans.
Angers SCO also received a fine of 20,000 euros.
In the Angers-Marseille game, supporters of both clubs attacked each other.
Fans hit each other, objects flew through the air.
During a game in Montpellier, supporters of the club attacked the bus with opposing fans from Bordeaux.
At the Nordderby Lens against Lille, fans stormed onto the field at halftime and clashed, stadium seats were thrown.
There were several injured.
At the end of August there was a similar scenario in the game between Nice and Marseille, where after provocations fans also ran onto the pitch and got violent.
