UEFA said it is also investigating England over the lighting of fireworks by fans and the disruption of the Danish national anthem.
European football governing body UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against England over a laser pen aimed at Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during the decisive moment of their Euro 2020 semi-final.
TV footage showed Schmeichel being targeted by a spectator using a green laser as England captain Harry Kane stepped up an overtime penalty to give the home side a 2-1 victory in Wednesday’s Wembley game.
The keeper saved Kane’s initial effort but couldn’t stop the rebound that sent Gareth Southgate’s side to Sunday’s final against Italy.
UEFA said on Thursday it was also investigating England over the lighting of fireworks by fans and the disruption of the national anthem.
Fans booed when the Danish anthem was played before kick-off.
Taunts were also heard when the German anthem was played at Wembley last week when England beat Joachim Loew’s side in the round of 16.
“The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body in due course,” UEFA said in a statement.
England are looking to win their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup and face Italy in the European Championship final at Wembley on Sunday.
