Overview
- Two bursts of red smoke rose from the Grenoble away section at Stade Marcel-Picot, with roughly 15 canisters reported hidden under seats and fitted with remote triggers.
- Local reports attribute the installation to Nancy’s 'Ultras Saturday' group with remote activation during play, and Grenoble supporters later ignited remaining devices.
- The match was stopped for about 40 minutes before a security commission involving the prefecture, both clubs, the referee, and the delegate cleared a restart.
- The Ligue de Football Professionnel will review the incident, and AS Nancy Lorraine says it will seek to identify individuals for potential stadium bans.
- Additional incidents were reported, including projectiles thrown, pre-match scuffles, a steward injured by a firecracker, and the Grenoble team bus stoned, with Nancy already having played four games behind closed doors this season.
