After a laser pointer was directed at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley, Uefa has charged England.
Just before Harry Kane took an extra-time penalty, television images flashed a green light on Schmeichel’s face.
The spot-kick was saved by Schmeichel, but Kane scored the rebound as England prevailed 2-1 to advance to the final against Italy on Sunday.
England is also accused of producing a “disturbance” and lighting off pyrotechnics during Denmark’s national song.
“The issue will be dealt with by the Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) in due course,” European football’s governing body said in a statement.
During the Danish national song, there was some booing, which Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s official spokesman has condemned.
When the Football Association and Uefa officials first learned of the laser pointer’s use during the first half of extra time, they went on the hunt for the source.
They were, however, unable to locate the perpetrators.
When asked if they wanted to file a formal complaint after the game, the Danish FA representatives replied they didn’t want to go any further.
