It was supposed to be a quiet Ligue 2 match on a Monday evening.
A meeting between two important clubs of French football counting for the 8th day of the championship.
On September 12, the Metz-Guingamp match played in Lorraine was interrupted by the refereeing body in the 57th minute of play when the two teams were tied 3-3.
The reason ?
Dramatic.
The refereeing corps at that time in the match no longer felt safe because of the foolish behavior of some Metz supporters who did not learn the lessons of previous matches, especially on the side of Nice last week.
The referee of the meeting Mr. Gaillouste was threatened by a supporter who climbed the stand
In Lorraine, tempers flared when the man in black expelled three Messin players in the 31st, 45th + 3 and 56th.
This last sanction did not please the "supporters" who expressed their anger with violence.
Shortly before 10 p.m., the match was called off.
It resumed around 10:30 p.m. with a clear and clear warning: in the event of a new incident, it will be permanently arrested.
