UEFA opens case against Denmark

The union of European Football associations (UEFA) has opened a case against Denmark for the european championship qualifier against Gibraltar.

On its website, writes UEFA, Denmark is charged for the use of pyrotechnics and for the incident where a spectator ran on the pitch and clashed with Kasper Schmeichel.

Both episodes were criticized by fodbolddirektør in Dansk Boldspil-Union (DBU), Peter Møller.

- Friday, unfortunately, there were individual fans, that went far over the line. It is completely unacceptable. We want great atmosphere with our fans, but it must also be safe for all to go to the test match, said Peter Mills on DBU's website.

DBU expected already on Saturday, both baneløber, pyrotechnics and ølkast would give fines, because it is without doubt in breach of UEFA's rules.

- We can risk fines of several hundred thousand dollars, which we instead could have spent on activities for our fans. It was a shame and sin for the many fans who are doing a great job with the back up of the team, said Peter Møller.

Of DBU's press release, it appeared also that there were fights in the stands, but neither the fights or ølkast is a part of the charge, as UEFA has knitted together against Denmark.

Shortly after the fight identified DBU two persons, who violated the rules, like you subsequently did not hide that will try to identify all the others who threw the beer and fired the pyrotechnics, after which the persons will also be punished.

the Matter should be discussed by UEFA's disciplinærkomité 12. december, after which there will fall a judgment.

UEFA has also opened a number of cases from the other battle, like the opening of an investigation into whether there were racist chants in the match between Romania and Sweden. It was here that the Swedish Alexander Isaac allegedly subjected to racist chants.
