PSG and Lyon fans disrupt Marseille’s victory over Nancy in U19 final | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille’s victory over AS Nancy Lorraine in the Gambardella final was met with disappointing scenes of crowd trouble.

The U19 cup final was staged ahead of the Coupe de France as a prelude to the match between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain. It was a decision that would see Paris Saint-Germain fans placed directly behind Marseille’s goalkeeper Aboubaka Dosso (18) in the second half.

Dosso was targeted at the start of the half by the PSG fans with missiles, and around the 68th minute, the game was finally paused by the referee when the goalkeeper was hit in the head by a plastic flag. The game was delayed for ten minutes at 2-1 before it was allowed to continue.

The trouble did not end at the restart as a Lyon fan spat at Gaël Lafont (17) after he scored the third for Marseille. Les Phocéens scored once more en route to becoming champions of the Gambardella for only the second time in their history.
