In this stormy atmosphere, the match was stopped for a quarter of an hour after the Hérault supporters threw smoke bombs behind the cage of Omlin (17th), under the dumbfounded gaze of the president, Laurent Nicollin.

And as the bad news accumulates, Montpellier, reduced to 10 after the expulsion of Khazri before half-time (42nd), then to nine with that of Wahi (69th) lost against the Canaries (0-3 ) on goals from Girotto (45th + 13), Mostafa Mohamed (81st) and Blas (84th).
