CS Msaken have been awarded a 2-0 victory over Jendouba Sport following the abandonment of their Ligue 2 Group A fixture, which was halted due to a pitch invasion by home supporters.
The match, scheduled as part of the 25th round of the Tunisian second division, was disrupted before completion when fans of Jendouba Sport stormed the field.
At the time of the incident, CS Msaken were leading the encounter by two goals, a scoreline that has now been upheld as final by the National Professional Football League (LNFP).
After a disciplinary review, the LNFP confirmed its decision to grant CS Msaken all three points, citing the inability to resume the match under safe and regulated conditions due to the pitch invasion.
In addition to the forfeiture, Jendouba Sport has been hit with a series of punitive measures.
The club has been fined 8,000 Tunisian dinars and will be required to play its next two home games behind closed doors, without the presence of fans.
The LNFP’s ruling comes amid increasing concerns over crowd disturbances in domestic football and serves as a stern warning against similar acts of disruption.
The league’s disciplinary committee has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on behaviours that endanger the safety of players, officials, and spectators.
This decision significantly impacts Jendouba Sport’s position in the standings as the team continues its campaign in a tightly contested group.
The loss on administrative grounds not only dents their points tally but also threatens team morale as they enter the critical final phase of the season.
CS Msaken, meanwhile, benefit from the outcome, strengthening their position on the table and gaining crucial momentum heading into the closing fixtures of the league.
The LNFP has called on all clubs to reinforce security measures and ensure strict compliance with disciplinary codes to avoid further sanctions.
The league body emphasised the importance of safeguarding the integrity of the competition and creating a secure environment for football across the country.
As the season draws to a close, the implications of this incident may ripple beyond the immediate penalties, shaping both clubs’ prospects and the broader approach to fan management in Tunisian football.
