Despite several cleanings, the floor was still too sticky. The referees took the decision not to kick off. The public came in large numbers, the match sold out, expressed their dissatisfaction.

Not sure that this episode made the Nantes players and staff laugh, who traveled for nothing 3 days before the Trophée des Champions in Cesson once morest Paris!
