Serbia-Albania game was cancelled for skirmishes between fans.

There was a bit more to it than that...

Some Albanian nationalist(s) somehow flew a drone over the pitch carrying a Greater Albania flag.  A Serbian player grabbed the flag and tried to bring down the drone, and then scuffles broke out among the players, which then developed into a riot involving the Serbian fans (Albania had no tickets for the match, so there were essentially no away fans) with some of the fans attacking the Albanian players.

Pictures here.

Some people are apparently suggesting that this fixture should join Armenia-Azerbaijan and Spain-Gibraltar as one to be deliberately avoided in draws.

It's been a good week for the minnows so far.  Liechtenstein and the Faroes won, San Marino got a point, and Gibraltar conceded about five goals fewer than everyone expected them to against the Germans...

The Dutch are out...

Also in that group, Turkey qualified automatically, but, slightly bizarrely, this could only happen because Kazakhstan beat Latvia.  This is because in the ranking of third placed teams, results against the sixth placed team are discarded.  Turkey did worse against Latvia than against Kazakhstan, so Latvia sinking to bottom of the group gave Turkey extra points in that ranking, allowing them to overtake Hungary.
