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.

Flares were seen amongst Romanian fans

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.

And when that didn't happen, it's understood the home team were told to get back out in full kit - so the final whistle could be blown in a farcical finish.

Meanwhile, the Kosovo players remained in their dressing room.

It's uncertain what football chiefs will do now.

But although the score was locked at 0-0 four minutes into injury time when play stopped, there's a chance the home side could be awarded the match 3-0.

Friction on the pitch whipped up the late tension in a traditionally-heated clash.

Players scuffled on the edge of the box and Romania's Denis Alibec and Kosovo defender Amir Rrahmani had to be pulled apart.
