OM sanctioned after the Godillon incident?

The LFP disciplinary committee has decided to investigate the case of the projectile received by journalist Ambre Godillon during the L1 match between OM and Auxerre.

On November 8, OM hosted AJA at the Vélodrome stadium, for a surprising domestic rout (1-3) and a sad incident observed just before the break. While she was at the edge of the field, ready to collect reactions from the players at half-time, DAZN journalist Ambre Godillon was hit in the face by a projectile.

If the Internet quickly caught fire, denouncing a possible attack on an outspoken PSG supporter, victim of the squabble which pitted Marseille and Parisian supporters against each other, OM hastened to broadcast to the media present at the stadium images of the incident showing the hazardous trajectory of the said projectile, reaching the young woman’s face after bouncing off a tarpaulin.

Verdict on November 27

The Marseille club’s thesis, despite the apologies presented and the promise of investigations, is clear: Ambre Godillon was not directly targeted. The latter, however, remains convinced of having been knowingly targeted, as she exposed again on Monday on a set of the L’Equipe channel. And DAZN to take the same line by reserving the possibility of future appeals.
