Nice docked one point and Marseille coach banned for a year after Ligue 1 fracas

The match in August was forced to be abandoned after home fans rushed on to the pitch and clashed with OM players and staff

Ligue 1 have docked Nice two points, one of which was suspended, due to the violent scenes that marred their clash with Marseille in August, while OM coach Pablo Fernandez will be suspended for the entire 2021-22 season for his part in the melee.

The game between the two clubs was suspended when Nice fans invaded the pitch and physically clashed with players and staff from visiting Marseille.

The hosts have been hit hardest by the LFP's final disciplinary ruling but several Marseille representatives also face sanctions, with the match set to be replayed behind closed doors.
