L’Équipe report today that five Marseille supporters were arrested in the aftermath of yesterday’s 3-2 home loss to Lens for various instances of misbehaviour.
The first of which is suspected of pointing a laser at Lens’ Florian Sotoca while he was taking the penalty which opened the scoring. The second fan reportedly violently reacted to a steward, another used a pyrotechnic device and the last two for setting off flares.
With Ligue 1 stadiums being marred by an increasing presence of crowd trouble in the opening weeks of the season, the match was otherwise a pleasant break from the constant tension. Notably, the end of the match saw Marseille and Lens fans chant in unison in honour of Clément, the 23-year-old Marseille fan who lost his life in a road accident on the way back from the Angers match in midweek.
