UEFA have confirmed that both the Russians and the Italians will fall under investigation for behaviour of fans at this fixture, with a decision due at the end of next week.
“Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against: Roma for setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles (art. 16 (2) (b) and (c) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations) and insufficient organisation (art 38 Safety & Security regulation),” a statement from UEFA released this week reads.
“CSKA for the racist behaviour of supporters (art. 14 of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations), crowd disturbance (art. 16 (2) (h) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations), setting off/throwing of fireworks and missiles (art. 16 (2) (b) and (c) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations).
“The case will be dealt by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on October 3.”
It is expected that the Armeitsy will be punished severely for what is the latest in a series of incidents involving their fans, whilst it is also suspected that Roma will likely face a fine.
