The barrier, which is supposed to prevent fans from going on to the pitch, gave way after Milan Gajic scored the second goal in the hosts' 2-0 win.

"There are five people injured, including two aged 12 and 14 who were picked up by their parents," a Bordeaux security official was quoted as saying by French media.

A similar incident occurred last May during the Euro 2016 venue's inaugural game at the Nouveau Stade Bordeaux.
