The match took place on Wednesday evening, ending in a 0:0 draw. After the final whistle, the Marseille fans took to the field and clashed with the Angers fans, prompting the judges and the police to intervene.
"There was a provocation from the Angers stands, with fingers shown and firecrackers thrown from the Angevin side to the Marseillais. The Marseillais responded — it is a classic and stupid scheme, on one side and the other", Jacques Cardoze said.
The incident is a "collective responsibility", he added, recalling that football fans were unable to attend matches for 15 months due to the pandemic. He stressed, however, that the brawl was unacceptable.
The altercation is the latest in a row throughout the Ligue 1 championship, which began in early August.
