Total confusion on the final day of Ligue 2.
After more than 40 minutes of silence, the match referee officially announced that the game between Bastia and Le Mans would not resume (0-2 at the time of the interruption). However, he did not confirm whether the score would stand, nor the final Ligue 2 standings.
As a reminder, Bastia supporters threw flares and homemade explosives onto the pitch with only a few seconds left in stoppage time in this final-day Ligue 2 match.
The referee then chose to follow protocol and send everyone back to the dressing rooms to suspend the match rather than blow the final whistle.
So it is still unclear whether Le Mans’ promotion to Ligue 1 is official, just like Bastia’s relegation to Ligue 3. A commission is expected to meet very quickly to decide the fate of this match, while Saint-Étienne are virtually ahead of Le Mans in the standings as long as the result against Bastia is not officially validated.
A surreal situation with the Ligue 1 promotion play-offs starting in less than a week.
