A Serbian fan has been convicted for instigating a riot at a European Championship qualifier in Italy in October, and received a jail sentence of three years and three months.

Wearing a black mask to cover his face, 29-year-old Ivan Bogdanov climbed onto a barrier separating fans from the pitch, used a wire cutter to slice apart a mesh fence and launched fireworks onto the pitch.

Three other Serbian fans were also on trial in Genoa, with charges ranging from resisting public officials to damaging public property, as well as violating rules for behavior inside stadiums.

UEFA awarded Italy a 3-0 win over Serbia after the match in October was stopped in the seventh minute with the score 0-0.
