The game between Orléans and Valenciennes, for the second division of the French league, was extremely eventful, but for non-competitive reasons…
The match was stopped at the end of the first half and while the score was 1-1, as the canteen of the stadium was engulfed in flames! At the scene, very thick smoke developed, making the atmosphere suffocating, with the police and fire brigade removing people from the platform.
In addition, in the 25th minute of the match, a friend of Valenciennes – under unclear circumstances – fell from the stands into the void, as a result of which he was injured in the head and rushed to the hospital.
