Italy awarded 3-0 win after Serbia crowd trouble

jeff w. posted an article on - Oct 29, 2010, 10:45 am
I am sure the Azzurri fans remembered that the Oct. 7 Euro Group C qualifying match between Italy and Serbia was abandoned due to a group of rioting serbian supporters. As a result, UEFA awarded a 3-0 win to Italy. Serbia will have to play one home qualifer behind closed doors. They were also fined...
