Video: chaos in France: supporters Lens and Lille fight each other on the field | Football

sport">Dozens of visitors entered the field and approached a section with fans of the other club. Officers and stewards struggled to keep the rioters away from each other.

sport">After urgent consultations between the parties involved, it was decided to finish the match. Call-up police in the stadium made sure that the rival supporter groups did not fight each other again. The score was still 0-0 after the first half.

sport">Lens won the game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Pole Przemyslaw Frankowski. With title holder Lille, defender Sven Botman played the entire match. With 5 points from six matches, the reigning national champion started the competition moderately. Lens is currently in second place.

sport">Last month, the game between OGC Nice and Olympique Marseille was suspended due to serious disturbances. That game got out of hand when Nice supporters threw bottles at the Marseille players at corner kicks in the corner of the pitch. When striker Dimitri Payet threw one back, fans stormed the field and a massive brawl ensued. This match will now be played again on October 27, at a neutral venue.

sport">Sports Minister Roxana Maracineanu reacted incensed to the new unrest in French professional football. “We fight with the government for the interests of the fans: full stands, standing stands, smoking in reserved areas, traveling to matches. I also campaign to involve supporters in the management of the clubs. This start of the season is not going to help us. A reality check is urgently needed for everyone involved in football, starting with the supporters.”
