"Interruption of the match ASSE-OL: Verdict on May 7, OL qualified for semifinals"

The Disciplinary Committee decided to take up the case concerning the interruption of the match between ASSE and OL due to the seriousness of the facts and the risk of repetition. The verdict will be handed down on 7 May for the acts of use of pyrotechnic devices, jets of objects that have damaged the physical integrity of an official and interrupted the meeting. This interruption lasted about 40 minutes and is considered dangerous, which could result in the withdrawal of points for the ASSE. However, it should be noted that the rules may evolve from case to case.

On the other hand, OL has already qualified for the semifinals of the First League Championship for several weeks thanks to the performances of their players under Joe Montemurro. They are now waiting to know their opponent in the final phase, which will be held on 10 or 11 May at Parc OL. Their opponent will be the DFCO. The Dijonnais brought a point of their match back to Montpellier on Wednesday night thanks to a draw (0-0). However, Fleury qualified Sรฉbastien Joseph’s daughters by beating the Franciliennes on the Paris FC lawn (4-0). Although OL was favourite for this semifinal due to their first division supremacy and their opponent’s fourth place, the Bourguignonnes remained on five games without a goal (three wins, two draws), which could cause problems for Joe Montemurro’s players.

The other semi-final of the play-offs will challenge PSG to Paris FC in a 100% Parisian duel. If OL manages to get rid of Dijon, a very contested final awaits him in front of the two clubs that are increasingly clinging to the Rhodeans in recent years. The point of the draw torn up by Paris FC at Parc OL on 12 April (2-2) can make the Fenottes fear a beautiful adversity. Similarly for the PSG, which became the second best French team over the seasons. The First League Final will take place on May 16th and will be held at Parc OL if the teammates of Wendie Renard are at the meeting.
