FRANCE: A match between Nice and Marseille was abandoned when Marseille refused to restart the game after home fans in Nice threw projectiles and invaded the field.
Unverified photos on social media showed at least three players were injured.
The game was initially suspended because of the fan violence with about 15 minutes to go. When it was decided to restart play, with Nice 1-0 ahead, Marseille refused to return to the field.
“The league decided to restart the match. We decided, for the safety of our players who were attacked, to not restart the match because the safety of our players wasn’t guaranteed,” team president Pablo Longoria said.
“The referee agreed with us. He confirmed to us that safety wasn’t guaranteed, he didn’t want to restart the match. But the league decided to restart. That’s unacceptable for us and that’s why we decided not to restart the match and to return to Marseille.”
If usual French league rules are applied, an automatic 3-0 victory will be awarded to Nice.

Defender Ruben Vezo took over as goalkeeper because the hosts had already made all five substitutions, but he didn’t have to make any saves in the remainder of regulation and stoppage time.
