Grejohn Kyei's French side Reims fined 2000 Euros for pitch invasion

Ghanaian forward Grejohn Kyei's Stade De Reims have been fined 2000 Euros by the Disciplinary Committee of the French Football Association. 

Kyei's goal in the game against Ajacio in the French Ligue 2 saw fans invade the pitch which led to the destruction of some facilities.

The Ghanaian scored the goal that earned the club promotion to the Ligue 1 after a stellar campaign.

The President of Reims confirmed the punishment on the club Twitter handle indicating they have been fined 2000 Euros.

"When the sport we all love, a festive football, warm, human, is sanctioned, it is all his lovers who feel aggrieved. We can only bow to this symbolic sanction, which nevertheless appears totally contrary to the festive and peaceful spirit of this beautiful evening of accession in Ligue 1, " said Jean-Pierre Caillot, the president of the Stade de Reims, on the club's Twitter account .

Reims gained promotion since April after a 1-0 victory over Ajaccio.
