The match of the 38th round of the French Ligue 2 between Bordeaux, played by Ukrainian midfielder Daniil Ignatenko, and Rodez ended in scandal.

As a result, the referee postponed the match. After that, the judge decided to cancel the meeting.
That in no way excuses this unacceptable gesture, but a concussive blow to this stroller to stop the match for sure… No kidding… #FCGBRAF pic.twitter.com/L0IAwLZngg
