Ligue 1 A hundred Nice ultras jump onto the pitch to attack the Marseille players
Several dozen
Lens
fans
jumped onto the pitch during the derby break against
Lille
on matchday six of
French
Ligue 1
, causing an incident that delayed the start of the second half by about thirty minutes.
After five minutes of confusion and the intervention of the forces of order, the fans returned to the stands.
The start of the second half was delayed, waiting for the authorities to analyze the situation, gathered in a crisis cell.
The match had reached the break with a goalless draw (0-0).
He was finally able to start that second half a half hour later than planned.
A police cordon was deployed in front of the Lens ultras rostrum to prevent further invasions of the pitch.
Lens and Lille are two nearby cities (about 40 km away) in the north of France and some 1,400 Lille fans made the trip to the
Bollaert-Delelis
stadium

Nice-Marseille
, also in the French league, had to be interrupted by a series of incidents involving fans , members of the two teams and members of the technical bodies.
That match between Nice and Marseille will have to be repeated from the beginning and without an audience, on October 27, and generated several sanctions, including the withdrawal of a firm point from Nice, in addition to the punishment of that club to play three home games behind closed doors.
Pablo Fernández
, one of the deputies of Marseille's Argentine coach
Jorge Sampaoli
, was also suspended until the end of the season for punching a Nice fan who had entered the pitch.
