Feyenoord-Roma Match Suspended After Fans Throw Inflatable Banana at Gervinho

The Europe League match between Feyenoord and Roma was delayed after Feyenoord fans threw an inflatable banana on the pitch, purportedly intended as a racist gesture against Gervinho, a black player on Roma. Police were on heightened alert in advance of this match after nearly two dozen Feyenoord fans were arrested in Rome last week for rioting before the first leg between the two teams.
