The Derby Fusion in Geoffroy-Guichard After an Incident
The derby between Saint-Etienne and Lyon was able to resume tonight at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium after an unexpected interruption. The game, which was led 1-0 by the Greens at half-time, was suspended when the assistant referee, Mr. Rahmouni, was hit by a projectile launched from the stands. Fortunately, Mr. Rahmouni’s condition was quickly stable, and after a few minutes of rest and administration of a paracetamol, he stated that he was fit to resume his role. The referees then agreed to restart the game at 10:15 p.m.
Saint-Etienne will now have to show composure and consolidate his lead against a Lyon team, known for its determination. This derby, already marked by tensions, looks like a second intense half, where each action could have a decisive impact.
