Montpellier-Nimes clash stopped due to crowd trouble

A Ligue 1 match between Montpellier and Nimes was stopped due to crowd trouble on Sunday.

Both clubs are based in the south of France and are bitter rivals. This was the first league tie between the pair since 1993, with Montpellier going on to win the match 3-0.
