That was to be expected.

If no major overflow was to be deplored on the sidelines of the meeting between Olympique de Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt (0-1) this Tuesday evening, despite the fears around this meeting considered to be at risk, UEFA has opened this Wednesday a disciplinary procedure against the two clubs for the behavior of its supporters.

Five breaches of FIFA regulations are held against the Marseille club: "throwing of projectiles, lighting of smoke bombs, use of lasers, "disorders in the crowd" and "blocking of the public highway".

Four are held against the German club and its supporters: throwing projectiles and lighting smoke bombs, like the Marseillais, but also "acts of degradation" and "racist behavior".

Frankfurt ultras had been spotted giving Nazi salutes in the visitor parking lot.

Tuesday evening, the Bouches-du-Rhône police headquarters had already reported these incidents to UEFA and started their work to identify these pseudo-supporters from across the Rhine.

For OM, this new disciplinary procedure could have major consequences.

Following the Conference League semi-final last April, the Olympians had already been sanctioned with a suspended closed-door match by UEFA.
