Spectators interrupted the Nations League football match between Ireland and Austria in Dublin on Thursday with two brief demonstrations supporting Palestine, Al-Monitor reported. In the 19th minute, fans threw tennis balls decorated with Palestinian flag stickers onto the field, halting play.
The match faced a second interruption from the same protest action, though details of the timing and nature of the second stoppage were not specified in the report.
