• In the 5th minute of the OL-OM match on Sunday, Ruddy Buquet sent the Lyon and Marseille players back to the locker room, due to a bottle thrown on the lawn that hit Dimitri Payet in the face.

  • The man, who was located in the north corner of Lyon, was arrested about 40 minutes later by security agents.

    OL then announced that he had been taken into police custody.

  • According to Jean-Michel Aulas, despite this major incident which led to the final end of the meeting, after two hours of pathetic confusion, “Lyon is really exemplary in terms of security”.

At Parc OL,

Even in the first half of the Ligue 1 season where incidents are multiplying like never before in the stands, no match had stopped after only five minutes of play. This is now the case after this pathetic OL-OM, temporarily stopped on Sunday at 8:50 p.m.… then definitely at 10:41 p.m.

The fault was a bottle of water thrown by a spectator located in the north turn, and having struck a Dimitri Payet copiously insulted by all the kop, while he was about to hit the first corner of the meeting (0-0 , 4th).

The referee of the match Ruddy Buquet immediately returned all the players to the locker room and the man suspected of this bottle-throwing was spotted and taken out of the stadium forty minutes later by security agents.

Not without having received just before a slap from a member of the north turn kop, as Amazon Prime showed on Sunday.

OL confirmed the arrest and custody of the author of the bottle throwing, while immediately evoking "an isolated act".

A version which did not encourage Ruddy Buquet, at the end of an interminable imbroglio behind the scenes, to resume the meeting, even if the announcer indicated at the stadium the opposite at 10:05 pm.

In a press conference, Jean-Michel Aulas mentioned "a regrettable incident", while praising the responsiveness of his club.

"There was no way this incident would be repeated"

"We have 350 cameras in the stadium, which makes it possible to identify any troublemaker," recalls the Lyon president.

He was immediately intercepted, while in previous cases elsewhere, the organizers usually do not like to go find the culprit.

I can assure you that Lyon is really exemplary in terms of safety.

On the public road there are a lot of uncontrollable people.

There, it is an asshole who throws a bottle, it was unfortunately unpredictable.

What was less later was that Jean-Michel Aulas tried to resume the match, with a warm-up of his players from 10:10 pm, before a resumption of this shock which will never take place.

"There was no chance that this incident would be repeated afterwards and there was no stadium invasion, for example," he insisted after the "match".

This was not enough to convince Ruddy Buquet.
