The OL-OM shock, closing the 14th day of Ligue 1, will it come to an end? Nothing is less certain after the interruption of the match in the 3rd minutes after Dimitri Payet, who came to take a corner, was hit in the head by a bottle of water thrown from the stands.

This incident, the 6th of the season of this kind in Ligue 1, led the referee to interrupt this match, while the Marseille player had already had to wait a long time before being able to approach the ball, due to the numerous throws of ‘objects. The two teams left the field, at the request of the referee, to return to the locker rooms where they are still today.

Dimitri Payet had already been the victim of a bottle throw in Nice at the very start of the season, in August. The match was then interrupted a quarter of an hour from the end, before being replayed behind closed doors and on neutral ground, in Troyes on October 27 (1-1). The Riviera club had been sanctioned with a withdrawal of two points in the standings, one of which was suspended.
