Soccer fans in France who were excited to see who would win between Metz & Lyon will have to wait a while longer as the game was abandoned less than thirty minutes into it. The game was called after someone in the crowd threw a firecracker onto the field as Lyon’s goalkeeper was laying on the field being attended to by medical personnel for an injury he had.

Some of the players who were standing there saw something flying through the air and tried to warn the others at the last moment but unfortunately for the goalie he caught the worst of it because he couldn’t really get out of the way in time.

Players then tried to appeal to the crowd to knock it off but the damage was already done. Lyon’s goalkeeper was sent to the hospital as a result of the firecracker where he was being treated.
