Two supporters watching France play Albania in a fan zone in the city of Lyon have been slightly injured following a scuffle involving fans from three nations. Local authorities in Lyon said the altercation broke up Wednesday evening after French supporters started to sing France's national anthem, ''La Marseillaise.'' They were confronted by a group of Albania fans, leading police to intervene inside the fan zone. Privately-hired security agents are normally in charge of security inside the fan zones at Euro 2016, with French authorities dealing with it outside.
