(The Guardian) UEFA has charged England after a laser pointer was shone in the face of the Denmark goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, as he was about to face Harry Kane’s penalty in Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.
Schmeichel saved the penalty but Kane scored from the rebound to set up England’s 2-1 victory and book a place in Sunday’s final against Italy.
The case will be dealt with by the Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body, with England likely to face a fine. In 2008, Lyon had to pay $5,000 for “incidents of an unsporting nature” after a fan aimed a laser pen at Cristiano Ronaldo during a Champions League match against Manchester United.
