Nantes fans invaded the pitch during tonight's match of the last, 34th round of the French league with Toulouse, dissatisfied with the club's relegation to the second tier, and the match was abandoned due to incidents.

Dozens of hooligans, some wearing balaclavas, broke through the protective fences and entered the field after 22 minutes of play, with the score tied 0-0.

Fans threw flares, while the players were escorted to the locker rooms, and Nantes coach Vahid Halihodžić tried to confront the fans and convince them to leave the field.

After police intervention, the fans left the field, and the game was stopped.

Nantes, known by the nickname "the canaries" because of their bright yellow jerseys, is a famous French club, eight-time champion and four-time Cup winner, and in 1996 played in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

This season, Nantes finished in the penultimate, 17th place.
