Before the decisive penalty kick in the European Championship semi-final England against Denmark, an alleged English fan blinded Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel with a laser pointer. The police are now also interested in this.
In addition to UEFA, the British police are also investigating the case of a laser pointer used in the semi-finals of the European Football Championship at London’s Wembley Stadium. The British Secretary of State Susan Williams said on Thursday in Parliament in London. The incident in which Denmark’s goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was shone in the face with a green laser pointer during a penalty kick in the game against England, she described as “hideous”.
Uefa is already investigating against the English association
The European Football Union had previously initiated disciplinary proceedings against the English association FA. In addition to the use of the laser pointer by spectators, it was also investigating interference by fans while the Danish national anthem was being played and fireworks were being set off, UEFA announced on Thursday.
