Montenegrin fans who keep causing trouble and forced Friday 's Euro 2016 qualifier against Russia to be abandoned are 'barbarians ' , according to the general secretary of their FA . The Group G match ended midway through the second half after two outbursts of violence , the first 25 seconds after kick off when a home fan hit Russia keeper Igor Akinfeev with a flare in the head . The match resumed after a 33-minute delay but following fighting between rival fans during halftime and another 18-minute delay for the second half to begin , more trouble erupted .

A mass brawl between Russia and Montenegro players led to the Euro 2016 qualifier being abandoned . Fans holding flares cut intimidating figures from the roof of the stadium in Podgorica . German referee Deniz Aytekin called the game off in the 67th minute after Russian midfielder Dmitri Kombarov was hit with a missile from the terraces , following a scuffle between players on the touchline . 'These fans sing `` Montenegro we love you '' but throw flares , insult rivals and cause all sorts of incidents every time they turn up and that 's outright hypocrisy , ' general secretary Momir Djurdjevac told reporters after the ugly scenes in the stadium . 'We have left the impression of barbarians and this is a complete disaster . It seems we do n't deserve to have a nation , a soccer team or a berth in a major tournament . 'As far as I am concerned the game should not have continued after the first-minute incident . We can only thank God that no one was seriously hurt . ' Russia keeper Igor Akinfeev is knocked to the ground by a flare thrown from the stands after one minute . Akinfeev is carried off the pitch on a stretcher , leading to a 30 minute suspension of the game .
