In the Albania – Poland match, the local fans behaved scandalously. Many different items flew towards Polish footballers.
The first time Piotr Zieliński had taken a corner by the referees, the referee contacted the delegate and threatened to stop the match. When the Poles scored a goal and fans threw bottles and telephones at each other, the referees ordered the players to go to the locker room.
The match was finished after about 20 minutes of break. It was not the same. The goal scorer, Karol Świderski, could not finish the TV interview exercise, because I know objects from the stands were still being thrown towards him.
FIFA decided to punish the Albanian federation. A fine of 150,000 francs was imposed on her. Additionally, on November 15, the Albanians will play against Andorra in front of empty stands.
The post-match translations of the Albanian federation were bizarre. In a statement, they accused a … of Polish fans of professionally provoking.
Albania is focusing on the spot in the monitoring of the 2022 World Cup. It still has a chance of reaching the World Cup promotion, although it has to do so to rely on Poland to practice. Albanians still have games with England (away) and Andorra (home).
