In Le Havre, France, a Ligue 1 football match between Le Havre and Marseille faced an unexpected halt when spectators reportedly entered the field.
The match was paused in the 64th minute, with Marseille leading by one goal, as referee Willy Delajod decided to stop the game and instruct both teams to withdraw to their respective dressing rooms.
Abdoulaye Touré, a midfielder for Le Havre, was observed near the stands, gesturing to the fans, seemingly advising them to remain calm.
According to local media accounts, disturbances arose after Marseille supporters, positioned near fans of the opposing team, celebrated a goal by Amine Gouiri. L’Equipe, a prominent newspaper, noted that some supporters were pushed onto the field as a result.
The disruption was brief, and play resumed shortly thereafter.
