Five Olympique Marseille fans were sentenced to imprisonment of up to 18 months for throwing projectiles at police amid clashes with Paris St Germain supporters, a French court said on Monday, Xinhua reported.
The court said the five men, aged 18 to 25, received sentences ranging from three months suspended to 18 months in jail.
Twenty people, including 11 police officers, were hurt in the clashes.
The clashes broke out after the Ligue 1 match between the two sides was postponed because three PSG players had been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus.
