This Monday, Le Progrès reported that a second supporter of AS Saint-Étienne, present during the derby du Rhône, was accused of projectile jet and will appear before the court of Saint-Étienne on 13 October. During the 30th day of Ligue 1 match between AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyonnais, which took place on Sunday 20 April, a man had been arrested by the authorities for throwing a coin on the head of an assistant referee, causing the match to stop just a few seconds from half-time. After two days in custody, the 28-year-old admitted that he had twice thrown a coin in the direction of the judge. He was placed under judicial supervision and prohibited from being a stage, and was not the only one suspected in this case.
A second supporter will also appear before the Saint-Étienne court for the same charges. Identified via the stadium’s video surveillance cameras, the man was detained on 25 April and denied the facts. He too is placed under judicial control and is banned from a stadium, as well as will answer heads of “aggravated violence followed by total incapacity not exceeding 8 days” and “jet of projectiles presenting a danger to the safety of persons” in the context of a sporting event. He will also appear on 13 October.
After touching the bottom psychologically with the elimination in the Europa League and the defeat in the derby against Saint-Étienne, Olympique Lyonnais raised the head with the way Saturday against Rennes. By winning 4-1 against the Bretons, Alexandre Lacazette’s team-mates continued to believe in the Champions League and even won a place in the standings. Three days from the end, the suspense is at its peak and it will take a fool to hope to touch the hope of a return to C1 next season. The first of these “three finals” will still be held on the side of the Parc OL with the reception of the RCLens, Sunday at 5:15 pm. Like Rennes, the Lenses no longer have anything to play in this end of the championship, but just slammed against Auxerre. So beware of the reaction of pride. For this meeting of the Sunday multiplex of 5:15 pm on DAZN, Jérémy Stinat will have the task of enforcing the laws of the game for 90 minutes. The native of Chartres (46 years old) arbitrated OL and Lens twice this season with a draw and a win for the Lyons against two draws for the Sang et Or. He was at the heart of a media buzz last February following the match between Auxerre and OM. The Burgundian victory (3-0) caused Pablo Longoria’s anger, claiming that the referees were corrupt. A week later, Paulo Fonseca saw red against Brest and took a lot of money because of the context surrounding the French arbitration. On Sunday afternoon, Jérémy Stinat will be assisted by Christophe Mouysset and Mehdi Rahmouni. Victoria Beyer, an official in the First League, will assist Nicolas Rainville at the VAR for this Ligue 1 match.
