Two players from the French club Auxerre were slightly injured in the events following the won promotion match in Saint-Étienne on Sunday evening.
Hundreds of Saint-Etienne fans rushed onto the pitch after Auxerre’s penalty kick victory. Home fans threw fireworks and flares at the players who had fled to the locker room.
According to authorities, two Auxerre players suffered minor injuries. We don’t know who he is. In addition, at least seventeen spectators and fourteen police officers were slightly injured.
The ten-time French champion and thus the French title holder with Paris Saint-Germain, Saint-Étienne relegated to Ligue 2 after this defeat, forcing Auxerre to qualify for the first division.
In a statement, Saint-Étienne said it “firmly condemned” the riots and wanted to prosecute the perpetrators. “Our attention is on those affected and we will take the necessary legal action,” the club said.
In the Netherlands, fans of ADO Den Haag took to the field on Sunday after their duel with Excelsior to get promotion to the Eredivisie after penalties. Local club supporters threw fireworks at the box, along with Excelsior supporters, among others. Then the mobile unit intervened.
