Keeper hit by firecrackers
FRANCE’S Ligue 1 match between Metz and Lyon was abandoned after only 30 minutes after home supporters threw firecrackers at Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
Metz had taken the lead through Gauthier Hein just before play was interrupted at Metz’s Stade Saint-Symphorien, with the match called off after a 45-minute delay.
A dazed Lopes was seen lying on the ground after a firecracker was launched in his direction, with a second projectile then exploding underneath the prone Portugal international, according to images broadcast by BeIN Sports.
“At worst the eardrum could be affected,” said Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas. “He has a loss of balance and he doesn’t know where he is. That’s why he was taken to the hospital. The team will wait for him and hope it’s nothing serious.”
