The second leg of the Europa League playoff between Anderlecht and Fenerbahce was briefly suspended due crowd trouble on Thursday.
The problems took place shortly after Youssef En-Nesyri scored for Fenerbahce in the fourth minute.
The match was suspended “due to security issues,” UEFA said. Riot police were deployed and play resumed after some 15 minutes.
