Crowd trouble and flares on the pitch marred the Euro 2016 Group D draw between Croatia and the Czech Republic.

The match was halted in the 86th minute when flares from the Croatia end rained down on the Saint-Etienne pitch.

A steward appeared to be hurt by a firework during a five-minute stoppage.

Ivan Perisic and Ivan Rakitic had given Croatia a 2-0 lead, but the Czechs hit back through Milan Skoda's header before Tomas Necid smashed in a penalty for handball in the 93rd minute.

That late equaliser will have hurt the Croatian players, who dominated much of the match, and the team could be punished further by Uefa for the fan violence.

Coach Ante Cacic's men were counting down to a deserved win before a volley of flares appeared towards the left of Czech keeper Petr Cech's penalty area.

Stewards and players went to the corner in an attempt to remove the objects and quell the trouble among the Croatia supporters.

However, one of the stewards appeared to be struck by a firework as he went to remove it and had to be escorted away by his colleagues.

English referee Mark Clattenburg eventually restarted the match, and in the additional time allowed the Czechs levelled after Domagoj Vida handled in the area.

That changed the game in my opinion!

They are just as mad as the Russians

Been out the twice with England and been serious shit both times

Bit confused how they get all these flares and that into grounds - yesterday I got searched twice and was made to in zip jacket and top and full search and this was the same for all England fans

I assume this was for Wales fans also ?

yes true dobbin got searched twice yesterday too . how can they get them into football grounds ??


also they were selling beer at the game yesterday too when we were told there would be an alcohol ban . I was in the neutral area with mainly england fans and they were all drunk around me !

Mozzer

Hope all good mate

Yes not sure how they get them in despite stringent searches twice over - considering the threats to get those in shows that it ain't happening at all grounds. Maybe it's just England and Wales fans. I know the Russians weren't being searched at Marseilles but again the English were !!

Alcohol ban was a load of shit - apparently it was open to interpretation by the bars and shop owners - some saying it only applied to beer so where selling spirits others saying ok to sell as long as in plastic glasses - had no problem in getting a drink anywhere. They were not going to miss a masiive pay day lets be honest.

Hope you enjoyed apart from the result - best thing for us was Bale scoring and then celebrating in front of us caused a lot of booing by us so hodgson had to do something and the gamble paid off

Ramsey was excellent by far Wales best player

Firstly who's bright idea was it to have no segregation because that's been a monumental fail. Secondly it seems the French are doing a sterling job with these double search points to prevent explosives getting into grounds.
