The clashes between supporters during Ajaccio-Bordeaux, a match counting for the 3rd day of Ligue 2, will not remain without continuation. The Corsican city prosecutor’s office has announced the opening of an investigation into “aggravated violence within a sports arena”, according to information from France Bleu Corse.
In the 12th minute of the match, a handful of Bordeaux supporters suddenly gathered in the stands before starting songs to the glory of the club. A maneuver in protest against the prefectural decree issued on Friday to prohibit their arrival. Something to excite the ultras from Ajaccio, who quickly came to fight.
The match was interrupted for an hour, the time to evacuate the Bordeaux supporters. Five people were reportedly seriously injured and rushed to hospital. The Girondins de Bordeaux published a press release in the evening to condemn the “non-compliance of an isolated group of supporters with the prefectural decree”. The sad spectacle was not only in the stands, since the match ended in a score of 0-0.
