Ireland's Nations League match halted by pro-Palestine protests
Ireland's Nations League game against Austria was interrupted twice by pro-Palestine protesters at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
The Republic of Ireland's Nations League match against Austria at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin was halted twice by pro-Palestine protests in the first half. Tennis balls bearing the Palestinian flag and the text '#StopTheGame' were thrown onto the pitch around the 20th minute, with the campaign group Stop the Game later claiming responsibility. A pitch invader with a Palestine flag was also tackled by security. Despite the disruptions and a 2-0 lead, Ireland were held to a 2-2 draw as Austria came back in the second half, with Troy Parrott scoring twice for the hosts. The protests occurred amid calls for Ireland to boycott their second scheduled match against Israel.
