The match was a quarterfinal played at Marseille's home ground, according to reports. After the match, Marseille supporters showed their displeasure with boos and whistles. The local newspaper La Provence described Marseille's performance as 'pitiful'.
Coach Habib Beye responded to the unrest in an interview with La Provence. 'We must accept the anger and the sorrow, not question it - that is what I told my players - and look forward,' Beye said. Marseille had previously been eliminated from the Champions League.

The club is currently in fourth place in Ligue 1. Coach Roberto de Zerbi was fired in mid-February due to poor results. Coach Habib Beye is already being questioned as the replacement.
The exact date of the match when Marseille was eliminated from the French Cup has not been confirmed. What specific disciplinary actions, if any, were taken against the supporters who threw pyrotechnics remains unclear.
