The Nantes vs Toulouse match interrupted in the 22nd minute. What happened?

The final round Ligue 1 clash between Nantes and Toulouse was brought to a halt due to massive unrest in the stands. The referee was forced to suspend play in the 22nd minute.

Nantes fans, frustrated after their team’s early relegation from Ligue 1, left an insulting banner for their own players in the stands and stormed the pitch, hurling burning flares onto the field—prompting the stoppage.

At present, both teams’ players and coaching staff remain in the dressing rooms as police attempt to restore order and calm the furious Nantes supporters who have taken over the pitch.
