Saint-Etienne comes out with a firm match for smoke bombs

The Professional Football League (LFP) was rather lenient with the Saint-Etienne club. ASSE has indeed had two matches behind closed doors, one of which closed after the incidents against Paris Saint-Germain on December 15, where dozens of smoke bombs had been lit.

⚠️ # ASSE takes note of the sanction of the disciplinary committee of the LFP. This decision - two matches behind closed doors at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, one of which is suspended - replaces that taken as a precaution on December 16, 2019.

"After examining the file, the Disciplinary Committee of the LFP decided to sanction AS Saint-Etienne for two matches behind closed doors at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, including one suspended match", for the use "of pyrotechnic devices ”, announced the body. This decision thus confirms the total closed door measure decided as a precaution by the League, on December 16, the day after the facts.

PSG also receives a penalty

The club from Saint-Etienne indicated that it had taken note of this sanction and specified that its team would therefore evolve behind closed doors during the next day of Ligue 1 against Nantes this Sunday (3:00 p.m.). The League also sanctioned supporters of PSG for the use of pyrotechnic devices. They will be deprived of parking for the next match played outside by PSG, against Monaco on Wednesday.

During the Ligue 1 meeting between ASSE and PSG on December 15, smoke had been lit from the two corners throughout the match. Fireworks were even fired at the end of the meeting from the Kop Nord, as part of the 20th anniversary of L'Avant-garde, a group of Stéphanois supporters from the Magic fans.

The meeting was also punctuated by incidents between Stéphanois and Parisian supporters, who were nearly a thousand in their parking lot. Firecrackers and smoke jets had been identified.
