Bastia

Play was stopped for several minutes during Bastia’s game in December against Quevilly-Rouen Metropole.

The game ended 0-0 and the sanction effectively took away the point Bastia players earned on the field.

Italian forward Mario Balotelli, who is Black and often a target of abuse during his career, was racially abused playing for Nice at Bastia in the 2016-17 season.

Bastia later banned a fan who admitted making monkey noises.

With the final round of Ligue 2 games taking place at the same time on Friday, Metz beat Bastia 3-2 to move into the second promotion spot behind champions Le Havre.
