Legia Warsaw’s Europa League qualifier with Kukesi in Albania was abandoned after a a stone thrown down from the stands struck a Legia player on the head.
The Polish outfit had taken a 2-1 lead in the second half when Ondrej Duda was hit with the stone.
The referee called the game to a halt as Duda was bandaged and taken off the pitch to receive treatment.
The game in #Tirana is suspended. Ondrej Duda was hit with a stone by #Kukesi fans… @EuropaLeague #UEL

Fortunately, Duda wasn’t seriously injured and would have been able to continue playing the match. However, by the time he got medical clearance to re-enter the game, it had already been called to an end by the referee.
Official: the FK Kukesi – Legia game is ended. It will be probably declared forfeit, as Duda was hit with a stone by Albanian fans.
