“The clubs agreed that the conditions were very complicated and on a postponement of the meeting“, explained the referee, Mr. Bastien Dechepy, at the microphone of the broadcaster Amazon Prime Video.”We gave ourselves the opportunity to wait until 9:00 p.m. to see if the fog lifted, which was not the case“, he continued.”We took the decision, collegially, with the representatives of the two clubs. “
