After almost 67 minutes, the meeting between Saint-Etienne and AS Monaco was interrupted by the match referee. While Saint-Etienne had just conceded a third goal, the supporters decided to use numerous fireworks and smoke bombs, thus causing the match to be interrupted.
In the first period, the referee of the match had already warned the supporters after numerous smoke bombs. At halftime, the stadium announcer had already sent a message to the public and these new smoke bombs were too many. The 22 actors returned to the locker room.
