A decision has been made. The match between Saint-Étienne and Lyon will be resumed

The match between Saint-Étienne and Lyon in the 30th round of the French Ligue 1 was marred by scandal. The main referee of the match, François Letexier, took the teams off the field at the very end of the first half.

The "saints" fans were the culprits, throwing a coin from the stands that struck the linesman, causing the match to be halted. After lengthy consultations, it was decided to continue the match. The stadium announcer declared that if the incident was repeated, the match would be permanently stopped.

Let's recall an interesting episode from the middle of the first half. Saint-Étienne's forward Lucas Stassin made a rough tackle on Corentin Tolisso, earning a red card. At first glance, the foul seemed quite obvious, but after reviewing the video replay, the referee downgraded the red card to a yellow.
