Copenhagen fans attacked in Kiev, match interrupted


KIEV (Reuters) - Fighting between rival fans caused a 15 minute interruption to the Champions League qualifier between Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and FC Copenhagen at the Olimpiysky stadium in Kiev on Wednesday.

Supporters of the Danish club were attacked by an unidentified group of people believed to be Dnipro fans and forced to seek refugee under the stands with referee Andre Marriner postponing the start of the second half for 15minutes. FC Copenhagen issued a letter of complaint to UEFA, a representative of the Danish club told a news conference after the 0-0 draw.
