In the extra minutes of the match with Romaniaof the League of Nations, the Kosovar players decided to leave the pitch. GSP reconstructed the events at the National Arena.
The match between Romania and Kosovo, one with a high degree of risk, took place without major incidents until the extra time of the second part.
There were small cheers, whistles to the Kosovo national anthem and the classic boos.
The Kosovar footballers left the field in the 90th+5th minute of the match at the National Arena
The situation degenerated in the minutes of extra time. From the “tricolor” lawn, where the teams of the most important club teams in Romania met, “Serbia, Serbia!” was heard. Serbs and Kosovars have a historical conflict that is still open.
A heated duel ensued between Amir Rrahmani, the captain of the Kosovo national team, and Denis Alibec. The two hugged each other, threw harsh words at each other. The Napoli footballer put his hand in the throat of the Romanian attacker, then the teammates approached. After a general melee, the game was about to be restarted with a free kick for Romania.
A chair thrown on the lawn, from the lawn, heated up the situation even more. Amir Rrahmani called his teammates and told them to go to the side of the field. The selector Franco Foda did not agree, but he did not have the power to convince them. The Kosovars went to the changing room.
Even the Danish “central” Krogh did not understand why the visitors left the field and insisted that they return for the final moments of the match.
The work of persuasion of the officials was in vain. The Kosovo team did not return from the locker room. The ball is now in UEFA’s court.
