Play was suspended for 15 minutes in the Europa League play-off tie between Anderlecht and Fenerbahce on Thursday because of crowd trouble.
Youssef En-Nesyri had given Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce side a fourth-minute lead before the game was stopped, with TNT Sports’ coverage of the game reporting fighting in the stands.
The players were then taken off the pitch with a message on the screen saying the match was suspended because of “inappropriate behaviour among spectators”.

When play did resume, Anderlecht equalised in the 19th minute through Luis Vazquez, who then put the Belgians ahead with a fine finish into the bottom corner.
That made it 4-2 to Fenerbahce on aggregate, having led 3-0 from the first leg of the knockout round tie.
But Yusuf Akcicek made sure there was to be no late drama as he nodded in from close range to equalise on the night and restore the visitors’ three-goal advantage.
Fenerbahce will face either Rangers or Olympiacos in the last 16, with the draw taking place on Friday at 12:00 GMT.
