Lech Poznan supporters carried out their threat to boycott Thursday night's Europa League match against Belenenses in protest at Uefa's decision to donate €1 from each ticket sold to the cause of refugees.

The game, which finished goalless, was played in front of a sparse crowd of around 3,000 at the Inea Stadium, where the club's average attendance last season was 20,054.
