Due to the attack by rival fans, the club in the French championship received an additional 2 points. Last weekend, during the away game against the home team, with 3 minutes left until the end of the match, the fans of the home team invaded the pitch and interrupted the game. At that time the result was 0-0. Initially, both teams were awarded one point on the league table, but after a meeting of the French Football League Disciplinary Committee, it was decided to grant victory to "Toulouse".
The President of the Discipline Committee, Jacques Riolacci, stated: "The decision was made unanimously according to the point in the regulations, which states that a team whose fans interrupt the match and it is not continued later is considered to have lost."
Interestingly, the fans of "Nantes" have once again shown a negative side of themselves - earlier a group of hooligans had attacked the goalkeeper Fabien Barthez, who then left the club.
The additional points lifted the team from Toulouse to 6th place and gave them real hopes to compete for the right to play in the UEFA Cup. Furthermore, "Toulouse" is only 2 points behind "Lens" in 3rd place, and in the last round they will play against "Bordeaux" who are in 4th place.
