Serbia awarded 3-0 walkover win against Albania following brawl between players

Serbia awarded 3-0 walkover

Serbia have been awarded a 3-0 walkover win against Albania in their Euro 2016 qualifier following unsavoury scenes between players and fans earlier this month.

The match was abandoned after political tensions between the two nations were highlighted when a drone carrying an Albanian flag was flown onto the pitch.

The stunt sparked a brawl between players from both teams, while a number of Serbian fans also invaded the pitch to attack the Albanian team.

The Serbian Football Association have confirmed that the national team have been deducted three points and have been ordered to play their next two home games in Group I behind closed doors.

Both Serbia and Albania have also been fined €100,000.
