Montenegro fan turns himself in over flare

The 25-year-old reported himself to police on Saturday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the incident in the Euro 2016 qualifier.

The Montenegrin interior ministry said the fan was suspected of throwing the flare from the north stand during the clash.

"L.L [the fan] is suspected of throwing a flare during the match between Montenegro and Russia from the north stand at the City Stadium in Podgorica, hitting the Russian goalkeeper in the back of the neck," the ministry said in a statement.
