France has a problem to solve in the stands. It is not uncommon every week to see an incident at Ligue 1 grounds.
This time, the problem occurred in the Montpellier-Nantes match. Montpellier supporters threw flares onto the pitch barely a quarter of an hour into the match.
This led to the referee stopping the match until the problems were solved. The match against Nantes was stopped for around 15 minutes.
The protests were sparked by the disapointment of the fans after the 6-1 defeat against Nice last Wednesday.
