Serbia-Albania Euro Qualifier Halted After Player Tries to Pull Drone Out of Sky
By Mike Cardillo
Serbia and Albania met Tuesday in Belgrade for a tense Euro 2016 qualifier. Things boiled over in the first half when a drone carrying a pro-Albanian banner flew over the field, prompting a Serbian player, Stefan Mitrovic, to tear it down. This led to mass chaos and the game was eventually halted.
Mavraj takes the flag from Mitrović and the fight starts. Complete chaos. Players chasing on the pitch, some fans entering it.
