The match had already had some problems, as the fans of 'Les Lions' had thrown some flares at the fans of the opposing team and also at the security staff. There was a lot of tension during those moments, but it did not affect the continuity of the actions.
However, only 45 minutes could be played at the Stade Charlety in Paris, as after the break, the shameful incident occurred: Lyon fans invaded the field when referee Jérémy Stinat was about to whistle for the restart. Due to this, the activity had to be immediately suspended.
The Paris FC fans also committed the same act and after several minutes, everyone returned to the stands. In light of what happened, the authorities announced that the game would not continue on this day, but they would announce the decision within the next few hours.
At the same time the news was known, the Olympique Lyon fans left another image for the scandal: they reached their benches and lit a flare. Remember that the club had already been punished, because of its fans, with playing three matches behind closed doors, in addition to deducting one point, for the bottle-throwing incident against Dimitri Payet in the clash against Marseille.
