Protesters interrupted Ireland's football match against Austria by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch and waving Palestinian flags, according to Al Jazeera.

The demonstration briefly halted play as stewards and officials worked to clear the tennis balls from the field so the match could continue.

Part of a wider pattern

The report did not specify the exact minute of the match when the disruption occurred or detail the number of protesters involved. Tennis balls have been used in similar demonstrations at sporting events elsewhere as a form of peaceful disruption.

Al Jazeera's report did not include comment from Irish or Austrian football authorities on the incident or whether any protesters were removed from the stadium.
