Soccer: Here Austria’s Marcel Sabitzer is hit by a thrown object – falls to the ground

SVT’s on-site reporter Johan Kücükaslan reported that it was chaotic in the stands in Leipzig with lit flares and thrown objects.

– Turkey can count on a fine from Uefa after this match, he said in the broadcast.

  • Another player affected, apart from Austrian star Sabitzer, was Turkey’s super talent Arda Güler when he was about to take the corner kick that made it 2-0.

    – It gets annoying and we see how Güler handles it all. When the goal comes, he turns around and cheers, it’s obviously provocative. I understand that you want to cheer and almost point the finger at those who mocked you. But that means that there will be more thrown stuff, says the expert Jonas Eriksson, who also pointed out that the behavior of the spectators could have led to the match being interrupted.

    Turkey won the match 2-1 and will now face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
