Sunday’s Ligue 1 game between Saint-Etienne and Rennes was interrupted after local fans broke into the stadium where the match was being played behind closed doors.
The ref halted play after just 16 minutes and sent the players to the dressing room.
Play resumed 15 minutes later after the fans eventually left the Geoffroy Guichard stadium.
Saint-Etienne had been sanctioned by the LFP for their fans’ behavior during a derby against arch rivals Lyon in February.
