The French Ligue 2 play-off match between Ajaccio and Le Havre has been postponed after fans attacked the guest team’s bus. A policeman suffered minor injuries after a crowd of around 150 fans threw missiles and stones at the Le Havre bus and blocked it as it tried to get into the Stade Francois Coty.
The match will decide who faces Ligue 1’s 18th-placed team Toulouse for a place in the top division next season. The first leg of that match had been scheduled for next Wednesday. There were reports that a flare thrown at the bus also caused a small explosion and damage to the vehicle’s steering and air conditioning system.
“All the players want to do is go home,” Le Havre coach Oswald Tanchot told. “The players are somewhat shocked… the decision (to postpone) is normal.”
