Sporting Club de Bastia was sentenced to a firm point withdrawal in the Ligue 2 standings.

Meeting this Wednesday, the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) decided to sanction SC Bastia with one point.

A sentence that responds to “ racist remarks towards the refereeing body leading to a momentary interruption of the match, use of pyrotechnic devices and throwing of a firecracker on the playing area » during the reception of Quevilly-Rouen (0-0), on December 16, according to the LFP press release released today.

As a result, the Corsican club, 13^e in the ranking, finds itself five lengths behind its direct predecessor, Amiens. With only four points ahead of the 17^e and first relegation, Annecy.
