TROYES, France (AP) — Angry home fans threw flares onto the field, and some players launched them back toward the crowd, after a second-tier league game between host Troyes and Valenciennes was abandoned on Friday night.
Troyes is facing relegation to the third tier of the French league and home fans behind one of the goals threw several flares onto the field with the score at 1-1 in the 89th minute at Stade de l’Aube. The game was stopped and not restarted.
Moments later, with flares still being tossed by fans, some Troyes players picked up flares from the ground and threw them back — angering one of the fans yelling at the players on a loudspeaker.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Troyes condemned “a minority of supporters” for causing the game to be stopped, but did not mention the actions of their players.
“We now await the decisions taken by the (soccer) authorities,” Troyes said.
