The match between Saint-Étienne and its guest Lyon, which is part of the 30th round of the French league, was held at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium.
The match was suspended after the assistant referee suffered a head injury when Saint-Étienne fans threw projectiles from the stands.
The match referee, François Letexier, decided to send everyone to the dressing rooms and temporarily suspend the match in the 44th minute.
The match delegate announced that a decision regarding the fate of the match would be made within 45 minutes.
