Le match de foot a dégénéré. UNSPLASH

This Sunday, April 14, at the Sahune stadium near Nyons, in the Drôme, a football match between the Sahune club and RCB Bollène turned into a general brawl. A supporter of the Drôme team took out his firearm.

From insults to spitting, the match between the Drôme club Sahune and RCB Bollène was not easy this Sunday April 14. This D4 meeting, which had very little at stake, was the scene of a general brawl between supporters and players, according to La Provence . In the 90th minute, a Sahune supporter went so far as to take out his rifle, without actually using it.

It all started before the match where a simple sentence would have started hostilities. When the RCB Bollène players arrived in the locker room, the Drômois would have said: "You will see, they are cleaner than at home" . An unexpected reference to the first leg which nevertheless went well with Sahune according to Nabil El Foulami, technical secretary at RCB.

Two opposing versions

Once on the ground, the versions of the facts diverge. For the Drômois, RCB player number 12 would have collected the cards and "attacked the referee"as Henri Graugnard, president of Sahune, explains to our colleagues. This same player would not have stopped there, hitting the partner of a supporter who insulted him. At the same time, another RCB player would have & ;quot;spitted" on an opponent. The president of the Drôme club also describes a flood of insults aimed at his players.

The Bollénois accuse, for their part, the referee and his management of the match: "Our players were connected throughout the match and spit on it. The referee saw nothing", declares Nabil El Foulami. One of the RCB players, wanting to respond to the insult by spitting in turn, would then have taken a red card. As for number 12, he would have come across a very virulent supporter, ready to fight. According to this version of the facts, the young woman did not take any blows.

An armed supporter

And for the rifle? According to President de Sahune, it was brandished in the air without being loaded. On the Bollénois side, the technical secretary affirms that he was well loaded and pointed at the RCB players. The supporter also allegedly threatened them: "Come, I'll shoot you". However, there were no shots fired. He was taken into police custody, witnesses having alerted the gendarmerie, according to France Bleu.
