As investigations into the unpleasant circumstances that led to the cancellation of Nice's Saturday Ligue 1 encounter with Marseille proceeded on Monday, municipal officials in Nice imposed a four-match stand closure and local police detained a guy.

Nice fans rushed the pitch and challenged Marseille's Dimitri Payet, who had tossed a bottle back into the crowd after a bottle was hurled at him. After that, a riot erupted, involving both players and fans.

"In view of the seriousness of the incidents that occurred, and without waiting for the sanctions to be decided by the professional football league (LFP), the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes has taken the following decisions this evening: closure of the Populaire Sud stand where the incidents occurred for the next four home matches," wrote prefect Bernard Gonzalez in a statement.
