FOOT – Sunday, during the disappointment suffered by Montpellier against Marseille in Ligue 1 (0-5), serious incidents took place in the stands. In The Teamsome supporters recount these terrible scenes.
We would almost forget the five goals, the more than interesting performance of OM or the total absence of leaders and play on the Montpellier side. Because yes, once again, the extra-sporty has taken over. Sunday evening at the end of the 8th day of Ligue 1, very serious incidents took place in the stands of the Mosson stadium (Montpellier). The visitor’s parking lot remained empty after the authorities’ decision not to bring Marseille supporters. However, on the way, the supporters’ buses were even asked to turn around.
Within the stadium grounds, however, incidents did take place, notably with a hooded group installed in one of the stands of the Hérault stadium. “Everything went well until the third goal (before half-time, Editor’s note). But, a minute later, around fifty hooded supporters arrived. They were looking for the Marseillais to fight it out.”details a Marseille supporter in The Team . He specifies: “A lot of families and children from the surrounding clubs had taken their places.”
The hooded MHSC groups opened people’s jackets to see if there wasn’t an OM jersey underneath.

Another person, this time from Montpellier and present for the meeting, adds to our colleagues: “Just before half-time, an OM supporter showed off his jersey to tease. A Montpellier resident then threw something at him and the situation got completely worse.” Fights then broke out, creating fear in the Mosson bays, as this other supporter explains. “The children were frightened and crying, and blows, some violent, were exchanged between several people in the gallery.” “Leaving the stadium, I have never been so scared in my life. The hooded MHSC groups opened people’s jackets to see if there wasn’t an OM jersey underneath.even insisted a supporter for France 3.
“HAS On the occasion of the Montpellier-Marseille match, unjustifiable violence tarnished the image of football. Bruno Retailleau, the Minister of the Interior, reacted after the match. Homophobic chants, clashes between fan clubs, attacks by the police, we can no longer stand the fact that every week, sport is the scene of intolerable acts. For my part, I will not tolerate it. This week, in conjunction with the Minister of Sports and Othman Nasrou, Secretary of State in charge of the fight against discrimination, I will bring together the French football authorities to take the necessary measures to restore order in the stadiums and in margin of meetings.”
