A slippage with serious consequences. The meeting between Montpellier and Clermont, interrupted on October 8 after a firecracker was thrown near Clermont goalkeeper Mory Diaw, will be replayed in full and behind closed doors, the Professional Football League announced in a press release this Wednesday. The MHSC receives, as a bonus, a withdrawal of one point (plus one suspended) and will be partially deprived of its Etang de Thau stand for two final matches.
The decision is particularly heavy, while the Montpellier residents were leading 4-2 and heading towards a quiet victory, before the incident occurred in the 90th + 1. With this withdrawal of a point, the Hérault residents moved to the 15th place, tied with Metz, 16th and jump-off. The MHSC should be deprived of some of its supporters for the receptions in Toulouse and Nice.
Already on a complicated sporting spiral (one victory in six games), Montpellier also fired its defender Mamadou Sakho, after an altercation with Michel Der Zakarian, and did not need this additional pitfall.
