The principal duel between Nice and Marseille in the third round of the French Ligue 1 ended ahead of schedule in a grand brawl with the participation of the players of the guest team and fans of the Eaglet.

Already when the emotions from what happened began to gradually fade away, the public had the opportunity to hear comments from the President of Marseille Pablo Longoria, in the back of whose team player, Dimitri Payet, a bottle of liquid was thrown from the stands.

Then, representatives of the Ligue 1 disciplinary committee intervened with their comments on what happened, presenting a list of points of the regulations, as a result of which both clubs could be subject to serious sanctions..

The first step in the investigation process will be the initiation of a period of investigation and litigation within the French criminal law system, based on individual complaints submitted by fans, players and employees of both clubs..

In turn, Nice has already expressed its readiness to take a step forward towards meeting justice, and to present personal sanctions to all fans of its team, violations by which were recorded on numerous CCTV cameras in the sports arena..

The investigation is expected to take three to six weeks, but the first sanctions against the teams will follow immediately..

The South Stand of the Allianz Riviera stadium will be closed to fans for at least four home games..

In addition, the possibility of deducting points from both teams is being considered, since Nice did not fulfill the safety requirements established by the League Regulations, and Marseille refused to return to the field to continue the game, despite the decision of the referee team and the representative of Ligue 1 who worked on the match.

Fitness coach of Marcel Pablo Fernandez has every chance of getting a multi-year suspension for hitting a fan of opponents, and football players Alvaro Gonzalez and Jean-Claire Todibo can get multi-match "

At the same time, Dimitri Payet can avoid punishment for throwing a bottle in the direction of the stands, as before that he was provoked by a similar action on the part of Nice fans.

As for the outcome of the fight itself, the League is considering three options: to finish the game with a score at the time of the stoppage (1: 0 in favor of Nice), a forfeit defeat for one of the teams, as well as the resumption of the fight on a reserve day, with the stands completely closed.
