A extremely rare incident interrupted the derby. The looks are now turning to the LFP regulations.
In the 44ᵉ minute of the ASS -OL match, a projectile launched from the stands hit the assistant referee. François Leteixier immediately returned the two teams to the locker room. The official, taken care of, finally judged his injury not disabling. The match has resumed, but the regulatory urgency still weighs.
45 minutes to save the derby
According to the LFP regulation, any interruption must give way to a recovery within 45 minutes, otherwise the meeting is considered to be definitively arrested. This clause aims to guarantee the security and integrity of the competition. In the event of a non -reprise, the Commission can declare the lost part on the green carpet for the club responsible for the incident, here Saint -Étienne. If necessary, the option was dismissed since the men in black decided to resume the meeting.
LFP's disciplinary regulations provide that an interrupted match For the injury of an official due to a projectile is “systematically and definitively arrested”. IFAB, by law 5, authorizes the referee to stop the game if an official is affected by an object launched by a spectator. This scenario did not occur at the cauldron, but these texts give the commission the power to inflict a 3-0 defeat, penalty points, or even in the back and fines.
What impact for Saint -Étienne?
If the commission confirms the final judgment, the Forézien club incurred a 3-0 on green carpet, a removal of points and a strong fine. Four days from the end, this could compromise already precarious maintenance. Supporters are also in risk of partial or total in the event of recurrence. And it is all the more regrettable for the Foréziens as they led 1-0 to the brand at the time of the interruption.
The fate of the derby is now based on the assessment of the security climate and the state of health of the referee in the coming hours. The LFP disciplinary committee will decide in the coming days. Will Saint-Etienne will decide on his fate on the meadow … or will he see his hopes fly away on green carpet?
