Paris match abandoned

A Paris friendly between Senegal and Ivory Coast had to be abandoned on Monday night after supporters invaded the pitch at the Stade Charlety.

A group of supporters evaded security to race on to the field in the 87th minute of the 1-1 draw, forcing the match to be called off.

Video footage showed supporters climbing over barriers to race on to the pitch, with one image appearing to show Senegal defender Lamine Gassama being rugby tackled by one pink-trousered pitch invader.
