The Ireland U21's had their friendly match in Austria abandoned yesterday.

The Kuwait FA has rejected claims one of their players racially abused an Irish player during yesterday's friendly in Austria.

Ireland were leading 3-0 in the second-half when the game was abandoned, after an alleged racist remark towards a member of the Irish squad.

In a statement last night, Kuwait said the game was stopped due to 'excessive roughness and tension' between the players.
