SOFIA (Reuters) - The Euro 2020 qualifier between Bulgaria and England was temporarily halted by the match referee in the first half on Monday under a three-step UEFA protocol to tackle racist abuse from the crowd.

Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett said he had heard monkey chants on six occasions when England players Tyrone Mings, on his debut, and Marcus Rashford were in possession of the ball.The UEFA protocol involves the referee first halting play and making an announcement to the supporters to immediately stop racist behaviour.

Bulgarian captain Ivelin Popov was seen talking to fans through the metal fence at the break. A number of people were seen leaving the stands.
