Girondins de Bordeaux's Ligue 1 promotion bid has been derailed after their final home league match, which was halted when a fan attacked a Rodez player, was declared a victory for the visitors by governing body LFP on Monday.
As Rodez players celebrated the goal, a supporter entered the pitch and shoved goal scorer Lucas Buades, who fell to the ground. He was later taken off on a stretcher as the referee stopped the game. The LFP's decision to award Rodez a victory means Bordeaux will finish third behind Ligue 2 champions Le Havre and Metz, with only the top two teams earning promoted to Ligue 1 this season.
The LFP added that Bordeaux would be deducted one point next season and that the Stade Matmut-Atlantique's south stand will be closed for a minimum of two matches.
