The second half had just started when the game was suspended.
The meeting of the 31st day of Ligue 1 between Brest and Nantes was interrupted for ten minutes, before resuming where it had stopped, after an attempt to intrude spectators on the ground.
The match, which the Canaries led 1 to 0, had already been briefly stopped in the first period due to smoke bombs thrown on the lawn by the parking lot of Nantes supporters.
According to broadcaster Prime Video, ultras from Brest tried to descend on the lawn to do battle with fans from the opposing camp.
After this new incident, which occurred in the 51st minute, referee Johan Hamel decided to send the players back to the locker room, pending a decision on the rest of the match.
Definitive stop in the event of a new discrepancy
The match finally resumed, after the announcer of the Francis-Le Blé stadium warned the spectators that a new gap would cause its definitive stop.
The interruption lasted just over ten minutes, before Brest equalized at 1-1 in the 67th.
The 2021/22 season has been marred by several incidents in stadiums involving supporters.
An invasion of the field had notably disrupted the North derby between Lille and Lens (1-0), last September.
