The game had been attractive though. Angers and Marseille had just delivered a good football match despite a goalless score (0-0). While the match took place in a good atmosphere, overflows took place once the final whistle sounded.
Blows between supporters
It was then that violent incidents took place at the foot of the Marseille parking lot. Five hundred Olympian supporters made the trip for this match. Furious, they went to the bottom of the bend where Angers supporters were located.
“Not that, guys, what an image we give! “, pleaded the stadium announcer, calling for calm. Players and club staff had already left the field for several minutes. The incidents lasted a few minutes, then the stewards managed to escort each group back to its stand.

An agricultural bomb was thrown. Blows were exchanged between supporters, who had entered the field. A man would have even rushed in the direction of Jorge Sampaoli. “There was a provocation on the part of the Angevin tribune, with fingers of honor and firecrackers which were sent from the Angevin side towards the Marseillais. The Marseillais responded, it is a classic and stupid scheme, on one side and the other. I’m not accusing anyone ”, explained to the press Jacques Cardoze, communication manager of OM. Olympique de Marseille submitted an observation on the lack of security on the lower part of the parking lot.
At the Raymond Kopa stadium, the visitors’ park is located in the same grandstand as the Angevin Ultras, and the names of birds between the two groups are frequent.
“It’s a collective responsibility, there is not a stadium, a team … We can see that it is starting to stain. Everyone must be responsible for this ”, pleaded Jacques Cardoze. “People have to be responsible. We have been deprived of football for 15 months and people are not smart enough to tell themselves that we are coming to see football, just football. I especially feel great sadness. It’s not acceptable ”, he insisted.
The two coaches, who did not witness the incidents, did not comment on the subject after the match.
