The match was halted briefly after accidents in the stands

The match was halted briefly after accidents in the stands

The second half had just begun when the match was stopped. The meeting of the thirty-first day of the French League between Brest and Nantes stopped for ten minutes, before resuming where it stopped, after trying to storm the spectators on the ground. The match, which the Canary Islands led 1-0, was briefly interrupted in the first period by smoke bombs thrown onto the lawn by the Nantes fans’ parking lot. The match ended in a draw (1-1).

According to the broadcaster Prime Video, ultras from Brest tried to take to the grass to fight fans from the opposing camp. After this new incident that occurred in the 51st minute, referee Johann Hummel decided to return the players to the locker room, pending a decision on the rest of the match. One of these onlookers was arrested.

“All supporters, we have to change our mentality”

The match finally resumed, after Stade announcer Francis Le Ble warned spectators that a new hiatus would bring it to a final halt. The boycott lasted just over ten minutes, before Brest equalized in the 67th minute.

“It pisses me off, whether it’s from supporters or opposing supporters. Since the start of the season, we’ve seen horrible and unacceptable things. There’s a second goal creator Brendan Chardonnet after the meeting, on Prime Video’s microphone. A disappointment, because you have to know how to kill the match when you lead 1-0,” Canaris coach Antoine Compoire responded, condemning the snooping, “stupidity,” he said.

The 2021/22 season was marred by several incidents in stadiums involving fans. The invasion of the stadium significantly disrupted the North Derby between Lille and Lens (1-0), last September.
