??: Belgium-Sweden
Yesterday’s match between Belgium and Sweden was the penultimate match in the European Championship preliminary round for the Red Devils. The match was stopped after the end of the first half with a 1-1 draw due to a shooting in Brussels that led to the death of two Swedish fans.
According to UEFA regulations, in such a case the match must continue the next day. But the Swedish team had already left for home last night.
It remains to be seen what UEFA will decide regarding the sporting consequences? Will the match be replayed? Will Belgium win with a losing score? This is what we will know in the coming hours or days.
