(Reuters) - Girondins de Bordeaux's Ligue 1 promotion bid has been derailed after their final home league match, which was halted when a fan attacked a Rodez player, was declared a victory for the visitors by governing body LFP on Monday.
In the match played on June 2, Bordeaux needed to better Metz's result to finish second and secure promotion to the top flight but the six-times French champions went behind in the 22nd minute.
After the teams went into their dressing rooms, the referee said the match would not resume, adding that Buades had suffered a concussion. At the bottom of the table, the decision also ensures that Rodez will remain in Ligue 2, with Annecy being relegated in their place.
