UEFA has ordered Kosovo to forfeit a Nations League game in Romania after its team refused to play on in second-half stoppage time, with the score 0-0, after hearing pro-Serbia chants.

Kosovo have issued a strongly-worded statement over UEFA's decision to award Romania a win over them in their Nations League clash.

UEFA ruled Wednesday that Kosovo had forfeited their Nations League game in Romania by leaving the pitch in stoppage time and not returning, after hearing pro-Serbia chants.In its ruling, UEFA deemed the Kosovo football federation "responsible for the match not being played in full" and said the team would forfeit it 3-0.

The UEFA Nations League match between Romania and Kosovo was suspended in stoppage time with the score 0-0 in Bucharest on Friday.

The Nations League encounter was abandoned in its latter stages on the back of alleged pro-Serbia chants directed towards Kosovo.
