UEFA have charged England after a fan shone a laser pointer
at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel’s face during their Euro 2020
semi-final victory on Wednesday night.
The incident happened as Harry Kane took a penalty during
extra time to make it 2-1.
The game had ended 1-1 after regulation time at Wembley.
Mikkel Damsgaard gave the Danes the lead with a sublime
free-kick, before Simon Kjaer diverted the ball past Schmeichel, to bring the
game level.
During extra time, the referee awarded a controversial
penalty, after Raheem Sterling tumbled in the area.
Schmeichel saved Kane’s initial effort, but the England
striker slotted home the rebound, in what proved to be the decisive moment of
the game.
England have also been charged for “disturbance caused by
its supporters during the national anthem” and “lighting of fireworks by its
supporters”.
