A NATIONS LEAGUE match was incredibly ABANDONED after one team walked off in protest after fights broke out.
Kosovo players reportedly took offence at chants from the home Romanian fans in stoppage time.

The Romanian team waited for nearly 40 minutes to see if their opponents would return.
Kosovo were then given an ultimatum of returning in 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 amid farcical scenes.
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.
There was friction on the pitch even before the walk-off in a traditionally-heated clash.
Romania’s Denis Alibec and Kosovo defender Amir Rrahmani had to be pulled apart.
The main drama then erupted after the full 90 minutes were up.
The Kosovo team and staff strode off after objecting to chants from the crowd.
Cue confusion – and a controversial finish.
