Ten days after the incidents in the stands during the 32nd Coupe de France Paris FC-Lyon, the disciplinary commission of the French Football Federation (FFF) decided on Monday to give the two teams a lost match. The two clubs, now eliminated from the Coupe de France, are also fined (10,000 euros for Paris FC, 52,000 euros for Lyon) and OL is also suspended from the Coupe de France suspended, from the 2022/2023 edition.
Their officials were heard by videoconference by the committee throughout the day. On December 17, the match was stopped at half-time (1-1) at the Charléty stadium due to overflows. Smoke had been launched around the Lyon supporters’ parking lot and fights had broken out in the stands, leading to crowd movements and the deployment of the police.
Fights broke out and crowd movements then took place in the Lyon parking lot and the neighboring stand, leading to the deployment of security forces who came to lend a hand to the stewards. Spectators from the stand near the incidents then descended on the lawn to get away from the danger. Videos posted on social networks also attest to racist gestures on the part of some Lyon supporters. Two people, a supporter and a policeman, were injured.
For Lyon, this is the second meeting definitively stopped this season after the one against Marseille in Ligue 1, on November 21. The throwing of a full bottle of water on the Marseillais Dimitri Payet and the stoppage of the match after a few minutes had earned OL the withdrawal of one point in the standings. The meeting will have to be replayed behind closed doors.
