The alleged perpetrator of the firecracker that exploded very close to the Clermont goalkeeper, leading to the definitive end of the Ligue 1 match in Montpellier on Sunday, was arrested and placed in police custody, it was announced. learned from a police source. For the moment no complaint has been filed but the Hérault club, which risks significant sanctions, should do so quickly, we learned from a source close to the matter.
From the same source, the Montpellier public prosecutor had not yet taken up this matter late Sunday afternoon. The incident took place in the 91st minute when Montpellier was leading 4-2 and there were five minutes of added time remaining. A firecracker fell a few centimeters from Mory Diaw. It then exploded loudly and the Auvergne goalkeeper, a Senegalese international, lay down with his hand to one ear.
Diaw, visibly shocked, was evacuated on a stretcher. The firecracker started from the “Etang de Thau” stand, which welcomes Montpellier supporters. The match, first interrupted, was then definitively stopped by the referee.
While it has had a decent start to the season, the MHSC now risks significant sanctions. In the recent past, several clubs have been sanctioned for incidents involving a player and one or more supporters.
