While the score was still goalless, a supporter from the Petrignani stand threw a smoke bomb onto the pitch, the latter hitting Red Star player Bradley Danger in the back. The match referee then decides to interrupt the match which will not resume. The Sporting Club de Bastia celebrated its 120 years of existence during this poster, at the very time of the inauguration of the renovation work on its stadium, now fully covered. What was supposed to be a party with already 71 pyrotechnic devices used took a very negative turn.
Sporting, bottom of Ligue 2, risks losing this match on the green carpet, being inflicted with a large fine but also a withdrawal of points in the sporting rankings for the 2025-2026 season. The LFP disciplinary committee must make a decision on December 22.
In the meantime, the author of the smoke bomb who has since been identified was in immediate court. The latter was a repeat offender, since he had been sentenced in 2022 in Nice for aggravated violence, reports Julien Pernici. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison with a suspended probationary period of 2 years with obligation to provide care, payment of procedural costs and citizenship training. 5 years stadium ban with scoring.
