First halftime

The big football club Olympique de Paris is a guest at the much smaller club Capelongue. Nobody expects a problem. But the aging Samuel Lorit comes from the small town and returns to his old home for the first time. But there he is considered a persona non grata and traitor. In particular, his old friend Jeannot is not targeting him or his father. He ordered extra steroids. However, the packet is swapped on the door and after giving his son the syringe, it turns into a zombie. The team bus with Lorit, iDriss, his successor as a star player, the journalist Soléne, and his teammates reached the stadium. Sam is a frosty reception directly. The local ultra movement, consisting of four men, also opposes him despite the ban on the stadium. The game is also difficult, because after the smallest foul, Lorit of the square is expelled. After a short protest, his team continues without him. Finally, the Ultras manages to ignite Bengalische Feuer and the stage disappears in the fog. At that moment, Jeannot enters the scenery and infects one by one. Chaos breaks out. Sam, who does not notice anything from all of this, is led by Cléo to a pub. There she opens up to him that she did not want to turn him on, but is actually his 17-year-old daughter. At that moment Solène comes into the pub and the chaos breaks off there too.

Second halftime

In different groups, the survivors prepare for the showdown. Idriss, reveals by his agent, who determines a meniscus injury to him, struggles with one of the ultras in the stage. The Ultra succeeds in playing their fighting singing.

Meanwhile, Cléo, Solène and Sam meet Sam’s father, the village police officer and two surviving Ultras. They try to get the situation. To do this, barricade yourself in the police station. When Sam’s father tries to inform the army about the CB radio, he is injured. Together with Solène and his son, they beat themselves up to the doctor’s house. But this is the father of Jeannot and therefore the root of all evil. Sam’s father is killed in the subsequent fight. Soléne and Sam return to the police station, but Cléo and the Ultras heard the stadium singing and are on the way to free their buddy.

Everyone meets on the field. But in a fight with one of the zombies, the music is accidentally switched on and all zombies rush to the stadium. The survivors are now facing a superiority of zombies. So Sam and iDriss do what they do best: they play football and can distract the zombies while the rest of the group gets safe. When everyone is safe, Idress and Sam also try to save themselves, but meet Jeannot, which you can defeat together. Then they are saved and the army storms towards the city to get the zombies.

During the credits, Sam can be seen, now with Solène, now belongs to the village pub. In the meantime, the living residents have come to terms with the zombies.
