The Republic of Ireland U21's fixture against Kuwait's U22 on Monday afternoon was abandoned following an alleged racist mark made by a Kuwaiti player towards an Irish substitute.

Ireland were leading 3-0 in the second half thanks to goals from Ollie O’Neill, Conor Carty, and debutant Aidomo Emakhu when the incident occurred. The match in Austria was soon cancelled.
