Shock Armenia V. Azerbaijan Decision

UEFA has decided to award both nations zero points for the two games due to be played on 8th and 12th September because of the political situation between the countries.

The matter resolves around a disagreement over a land dispute. Last autum an under-19 match between the nations turned violent after some on-the-pitch events. As a result the UEFA Executive Committee announced:

“As no suitable compromise could be found between the two associations it was decided to cancel the two matches, namely Azerbaijan-Armenia scheduled for 8 September and Armenia-Azerbaijan schedule for 12 September, and to award both associations zero points for the matches.”

Hopefully this won't affect the group too much.
