Here&#39;s what happened.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"article-body\">\n<p>The Rh\u00f4ne derby between Saint-Etienne and Lyon, counting for the 30th day of Ligue 1, was suddenly stopped this Sunday at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. While the atmosphere was so far festive despite the absence of Lyon supporters, an isolated gesture was enough to tip this beautiful poster. In the 44th minute, the main referee Fran\u00e7ois Leteixier made a strong decision: stopping the match and returning the two teams to the locker room.<\/p>\n<h2>An assistant referee injured by the sidelines<\/h2>\n<p>The origin of this interruption: assistant referee Mehdi Rahmouni was touched at the head by a piece launched from the stands. Immediately taken care of, however, he seemed to work and exchange, although one or more suture points are to be considered. But the severity of the gesture has left no room for doubt. In a concern for security and respect for the arbitral body, the meeting was suspended a few seconds from the break.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fc-player_fc-player__qByHT\"><span class=\"fc-player_label___n_vK\">The article continues below<\/span><\/div>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<h2>Saint-Etienne led to the score, uncertainty reigns<\/h2>\n<p>Before this incident, the Greens led 1-0 thanks to a goal scored in the 10th minute by Lucas Stassin. The St\u00e9phanois, dominators, had started the meeting well, carried by a warm audience but until then respectful. Cruel irony: without opposing support, the context seemed ideal for a football festival. But this projectile jet may question everything.<\/p>\n<p>If the game does not resume, the For\u00e9zien club could risk big: defeat on green carpet, camera, even financial sanctions. The regulation of the league is strict, and such an act, isolated but fraught with consequences, could ruin the sports efforts of the club at a crucial time of the season. The Greens are currently struggling for their survival among the elite.<\/p>\n<h2>A sad image for French football<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the score, it is the image of hexagonal football that comes out tarnished. Once again, a condemnable act taints a symbolic poster of the championship. It remains to be hoped that the sanctions are up to the incident, to dissuade other irresponsible behaviors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The derby between Saint-Etienne and Lyon was interrupted this Sunday, after an incident in the stands.
