Croatia have drawn Czech Republic 2 – 2 in the ongoing Euro 2016 championship in France, despite the violence that erupted from the Croatian end.
The crisis could be in reaction to Czech’s fightback goal, after being down by two goals to the Croatians.
This comes just as a French court jails three Russian fans for two years for their role in the violence in Marseille before the England-Russia opening match.
The watershed started in the 86th minute when some Croatians threw several flares on to the pitch after Tomas Necid replaced Jaroslav Plasil.
The referee, Mark Clattenburg, stopped the play when another flare was fired at an official’s direction, as fights also broke out in a section behind Petr Cech’s goal post.
The Croatians’ dream was subsequently truncated just as Clattenburg awarded a penalty in favour of Czech Republic.
Substitute Necid took advantage of the penalty to give Czech an equaliser, as they remain third in Group D while Croatia sit at the top of the group.
The crisis took place on Friday at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard in Saint-Etienne.
