Lyon awarded victory after Bastia crowd trouble

Lyon have been awarded a victory over Bastia after
their Ligue 1 meeting last month was curtailed
amid crowd trouble.
The match in Corsica was brought to a halt at half-
time with the teams level at 0-0, the game having
already been delayed by 55 minutes after shocking
scenes saw some Bastia supporters enter the pitch
and confront Lyon players during the warm-up.
Bottom-of-the-table Bastia must play their next
three home matches behind closed doors at a
neutral venue, while the club's fans will not be
permitted to attend their next four away games.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has also
banned Bastia director Anthony Agostini for six
months.

In response to the LFP's investigation being
launched, Bastia revealed plans to develop the
Stade Armand Cesari to "maximise security".
Bastia are two points from safety with three rounds
to play in Ligue 1. They have to travel to Paris
Saint-Germain and Marseille, either side of hosting
Lorient.
