Albania awarded win over Serbia

Albania awarded win over Serbia

Albania have been awarded a 3-0 victory over Serbia after their Euro 2016 qualifying match in October was abandoned.

The match in Belgrade was scoreless when a drone carrying an Albanian flag was flown onto the pitch, resulting in crowd trouble and a fight between the two teams on the pitch.

Serbia were originally given a 3-0 walkover win, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that they were responsible for the game not being completed.

UEFA has now taken the victory away from Serbia, who have already been deducted three points and have been ordered to play their next two qualifiers behind closed doors.

The decision means that Serbia are now bottom of the Group I table on one point, with Albania moving up to 10 points alongside Denmark and two behind leaders Portugal.
