Uefa Nations League clash ABANDONED after fight breaks out and one of teams walks off pitch in protest
A NATIONS LEAGUE match was ABANDONED as one team stormed off in protest after fighting on the pitch and chants from fans.
Kosovo players reportedly took offence at controversial taunts from the Romanian home crowd in stoppage time.
The Romanian team waited for nearly 40 minutes to see if their opponents would return at the National Arena.
Kosovo were then given an ultimatum to return within five minutes.
