Quadcopter stops Serbia v Albania football match

Thirty four minutes into this evenings UEFA European Championship qualifying match between Serbia and Albania an Albanian flag was dropped onto the pitch. Looks like a DJI Phantom in the vine I have seen.

The match had already been stopped for flares being thrown onto the pitch when the drone entered carrying the banner, which was then grabbed by Serbia’s Stefan Mitrović. That enraged the Albanian players who started a fight. Referee Martin Atkinson lead the players off the field, after some disruption off the pitch as well. Albanian players were pelted by garbage by the hometown fans.

Albanian supporters were banned from attending due to security concerns.
