The World Cup qualification shows its ugly face!
In Group I there were two games. The supporters of the teams rioted in the stands. During the match between England and Hungary (1-1), dozens of emergency services clashed with visiting fans in the stands. The police used batons against the beating Hungary fans.
Reason for the argument: Shortly after the game began, officials entered the stands to arrest a spectator for a racist incident, a police statement said. Thereupon there was unrest in which other viewers were involved.
The English Football Association wants to investigate the incident and report it to Fifa. The Hungarian association is threatened with another punishment. In September, Fifa had already fined Hungary two ghost games and a fine of 185,000 euros after the racist statements made by its fans against English national players. Previously, during the European Championship, there were sanctions on the part of the Uefa for discrimination (three ghost games and a 100,000 euro fine).
Bottle throws against Lewandowski and Co
In Tirana, the Albanian supporters freaked out after Karol Świderski (77th) scored the opening goal for the Poles. When the goal scorer cheers with his teammates at the corner flag, lots of bottles fly in the direction of the players, who hold their hands over their heads to protect themselves. Bayern star and Poland captain Robert Lewandowski comes to get his teammates out of the danger zone.

The team leaves the lawn, the game is interrupted for 20 minutes and then continues. The stadium announcer has warned the fans that the game could be abandoned in the event of further incidents and scored against Albania. In minute 106, referee Clement Turpin (France) released the players and whistled off. The Poles win 1-0 and are now in Group I with 17 points in second place, three points behind leaders England (20). Albania is third (15).
