After the incidents that occurred during the North derby where Lens won against Lille (1-0), the sub-prefect of Lens Jean-François Raffy spoke to theAFP and the first consequences are now known. Beyond the penalties to which the two clubs are exposed in the coming days, six people were slightly injured and two questioned in the clashes that took place at half-time of this match.
“There was no serious injury, there were six evacuations on the hospital but for minor injuries (Lensois side because they went over the gates). There was a Lille resident arrested who had launched a siege and a Lensois supporter also arrested for having launched a siege on a CRS and who will be tried in immediate appearance ”, declared Jean-François Raffy before adding: “At halftime, Lille supporters wanted to go over the gates to compete with Lensois in the neighboring stand, the CRS intervened immediately. The Ultras Lensois seeing that their colleagues were attacked returned (on the lawn, editor’s note) to protect them, but the CRS intervened immediately, there was no generalized confrontation. “ Before the meeting, an offensive tifo targeting Lille had been brandished by the ultras Sang et Or. A message “Lille Merda“For which the Lensois leaders were not aware according to Arnaud Pouille, the general manager of the club. Scenes reminiscent of the sad events that took place at the Allianz Riviera on August 22.
