The commission of discipline of the LFP has announced this Sunday morning that it is investigating the incidents that led to the interruption of the match between Bastia and Le Mans on Saturday during the last day of Ligue 2. They will make a decision on this matter on Wednesday.
The match between Bastia and Le Mans on Saturday could not be completed due to smoke bombs thrown from the stands, which led to the definitive interruption of the game in the 90th+6 minute, leaving the referee to leave the field and plunging the outcome of the game into uncertainty.
The official decision regarding the result of the match will be communicated on Wednesday, as confirmed by an official statement from the LFP. The possibility of Le Mans moving up to Ligue 1 and Bastia being relegated to Ligue 3 will only be revealed after the commission’s meeting on Wednesday.
According to L’Equipe, it is expected that Le Mans will be promoted to Ligue 1 and Bastia relegated to Ligue 3 by the LFP’s commission of discipline on Wednesday. Bastia may face sanctions, including playing at least one or more matches behind closed doors at the start of the next season. An additional fine could be imposed on Bastia, along with the lifting of the suspended points deduction. Last December, Bastia lost a match against Red Star due to a smoke bomb thrown on the field, resulting in a suspended points penalty.
Context note: The match between Bastia and Le Mans was interrupted due to incidents involving smoke bombs thrown onto the field.
Fact Check note: The decision on the outcome of the match and potential sanctions for both clubs will be revealed by the LFP on Wednesday.
