After a balanced match, in which both teams had great opportunities to score, the game had an unexpected ending.
Amir Rahmani and Kosovar on the ground
In the minutes of overtime, Denis Alibec was bumped by Amir Rrahmani, and a conflict arose between the two, which ended only after the other players intervened and separated them.
Afterwards, the Romanian fans started chanting against the Kosovars, dissatisfied with Rrahmani's gesture, who then made an unexpected decision.
Despite the fact that the Danish referee Morten Krogh objected, the Kosovar captain decided to remove the team from the field, because “Serbia” would have been chanted from the lawn, and the Kosovo players would have felt offended, but also because from the stands would have thrown objects on the field.
On the way to the locker room, the Kosovars made obscene signs to the fans in the stands, as well as the “Albanian eagle” sign.
And the players from Kosovo made provocative gestures towards the Romanian fans. Florent Hadergjonaj made obscene gestures to the fans on the lawn.
The Tricolori and Mircea Lucescu sat in discussions with the referees, while Franco Foda tried to convince the players to return to the field.
