Euro 2012: UEFA may penalise English FA for fans invasion

Warsaw: UEFA opened a disciplinary case against the English Football Association on Sunday after some fans tried to invade the pitch during the team's 3-2 victory over Sweden.

England are the seventh of 16 competing countries at the European Championship to be charged by UEFA for disciplinary offenses. UEFA said in a statement Sunday the attempted invasion of the field at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev on Friday was "inappropriate behavior."

Fans celebrating an England goal were seen running from the stands on to the track circling the pitch before being intercepted by stewards. UEFA's control and disciplinary body will hear the case on Wednesday. England are likely to get a small financial penalty.
