Nice vs Marseille match abandoned as home fans invade pitch: WATCH

Marseille’s Ligue 1 match against Nice on Sunday was abandoned with the visiting club declining to emerge from the changing area after Nice fans attacked the pitch to start a brawl.

The referee blew for the last whistle in the 75th minute with just the Nice parts in sight following a short suspension to procedures, and as indicated by Ligue de Professional Football rules, Marseille were given a programmed 3-0 loss awaiting additional analysis.

Bottles were thrown at players and punches were traded in the fight. “The safety of our players wasn’t guaranteed,” Marseille president Pablo Longoria said.

The game had been hindered with players leaving the field after home fans threw bottles and attacked the pitch. Photographs via web-based media displayed something like three players were harmed.

At the point when it was chosen to restart play, with Nice 1-0 ahead, Marseille did not get back to the field. Decent heated up and the match was intended to restart with a Marseille corner. No visiting players were available to take the corner, the arbitrator blew his whistle and the match was deserted.

Nice players effectively been cautioned against throwing objects by the stadium broadcaster when, with around 15 minutes remaining, Marseille midfielder was hit on the back by a bottler tossed from a stand with Nice fans.

Payet tossed the bottler back in to the stand, provoking countless Nice fans to surge the field.
