Euro 2016: Uefa Opens Proceedings Against Croatia & Turkey After Trouble

Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Croatia after crowd trouble marred their Euro 2016 match against the Czech Republic on Friday.

Charges have been brought for the setting off of fireworks, the throwing of objects, crowd disturbance and racist behaviour by Croatia fans.

European football's governing body has also charged Turkey following incidents during their match against Spain.

Its control, ethics and disciplinary body will rule on the cases on Monday.

Friday's match between Croatia and the Czech Republic was halted by referee Mark Clattenburg in the 86th minute when flares were thrown on to the pitchfrom the Croatia end.

When the game resumed, Croatia conceded a late penalty to draw 2-2.

After the game, Croatia boss Ante Cacic called the supporters who threw flares on to the pitch "sports terrorists".

He added: "They are not really Croatia supporters. These people are scary and I call them hooligans."
