On Wednesday, Nice and Marseille tied 1-1 in French Ligue 1, two months after the original match was called off due to crowd disturbance.

Nice took the lead through Amine Gouiri after just six minutes of the rescheduled game, which was played behind closed doors in Troyes.

Just before the half-time break, Dimitri Payet equalized for Marseille.

With 15 minutes remaining in the Allianz Riviera's Mediterranean derby against Marseille in the original fixture, hosts Nice led 1-0 when Marseille's Dimitri Payet was struck by a bottle as he attempted to take a corner.

As team-mates rushed over to remonstrate with home supporters behind the goal, Payet hurled a bottle back into the crowd.

Supporters poured onto the pitch, resulting in a fight involving players, officials, fans, and stewards.
