PARIS, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Ligue 1 side Lyon were once again involved in conflict in just four days, as their road match against bottom-ranked Bastia was abandoned following the Bastia fans' attack on Lyon players in Sunday's 33rd action, while sixth-ranked Marseille extended their lead to six points ahead of Saint-Etienne with a 4-0 home win.
In Bastia's Armand Cesari stadium, Lyon players were the target of about 50 home fans' attack during their warm-up, and the game had to be delayed for more than 50 minutes as captains from the two sides and other parties talked about the possibility of moving the game ahead, as the Lyon players remained in the locker room for the decision.
However, after the first half ended in 0-0, fans once again invaded on the pitch and attacked Lyon players, seemingly triggered by Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes' confrontation with an official from the Bastia club. The French professional football league (LFP) immediately called an end to the game.
After around 100 Bastia fans at the gates were dispersed by tear gas, Lyon players could leave from the stadium on their team bus.
Bastia were expected to face a point deduction for their fans' inappropriate behaviour. They saw one point deducted and East Stand closed for three games as their fans used racist abuse targeted at Nice striker Mario Balotelli in February.
"Whatever, it's a shame," tweeted Lyon's top scorer Alexandre Lacazette.
