Paris: The French football league has convened an urgent meeting of its disciplinary commission following the violent incidents which marred a play-off match over the weekend in Corsica.
Four players were sent off in extra-time as Ajaccio needed a penalty shoot-out to beat Le Havre at the Francois Coty stadium.
Le Havre said one of their players, Jean-Philippe Mateta, was punched by Ajaccio players after he scored his second goal to give Le Havre a 2-1 lead in extra-time. Le Havre also said their president, Vincent Volpe, was pushed in the back in the stands at the end of the match, and claim their players received racist abuse and death threats.
The game between the second-division teams was also stopped twice because of fans getting onto the pitch.
Le Havre officials have asked the French league to annul the result of the match and to hand the Normandy club a default victory.
The winner of the game takes on 18th-placed Ligue 1 team Toulouse for a place in the top flight next season.
