Clashes in the stands that forced some supporters on to the pitch have delayed Lyon's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Besiktas.
13/04/17
After reported trouble outside Parc Olympique Lyonnais prompted police involvement, violence broke out behind one goal as players warmed up.
"Projectiles and fireworks launched from the stands require fans to take refuge on the pitch," Lyon tweeted.
Uefa's communications head Pedro Pinto confirmed the fixture would be delayed.
At 20:33 BST, Lyon announced players would begin a "short" warm-up for the fixture, which had been scheduled to begin at 20:05 BST.
"Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas has gone into the crowd to try and calm the situation," said BT Sport commentator Jonathan Pearce. "He looks emotional. The electronic board in the stadium stadium says that the kick-off will be 'in a few minutes'."

Lyon's Europa League quarter-final meeting with Besiktas was delayed by 45 minutes after the throwing of projectiles and firecrackers forced fans onto the Parc OL pitch on Thursday night.
Both sets of players had emerged to warm up when objects began to rain down from the stands, causing an unexpected postponement of the start of proceedings in France.
It followed fighting among rival French and Turkish fans earlier in the city.
