Clermont-Marseille Ligue 1 clash delayed by stadium trouble

The match between Marseille and Clermont in Ligue 1 had to be delayed due to a tear gas incident.

Players stayed inside the dressing rooms while supporters were pictured covering their faces as the tear gas drifted across the Stade Gabriel-Montpied.

According to 'AFP', there were 100 ticketless fans tried to force their way into the venue and were pushed back by the security forces, before vandalising fencing to enter the car park for visitors.

The match eventually started after the gas cloud lifted and players were given time to warm-up again.
