Ref calls off Metz v Lyon game after firecracker explodes next to doctors treating goalkeeper

The Ligue 1 game between Metz and Lyon at Stade Saint-Symphorien was abandoned after firecrackers exploded in the first half near visiting goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, who fell to the ground and was later taken to hospital.

The first device landed in the six-yard box after Gauthier Hein gave hosts Metz a 1-0 lead in the 28th minute.
