England’s Football Association penalized after laser shone at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. This proved to be the deciding moment of their Euro 2020 semi-final. A spectator with a green laser targeted Schmeichel as England captain Harry Kane went up for a penalty in extra time to give the home team a 2-1 win at Wembley on Wednesday. On Thursday, UEFA initiated disciplinary proceedings against England.
The Football Association was also accused of causing a disruption during the national anthems and for pyrotechnics to be set off. When Denmark's national anthem was played before kickoff, they booed. When the German anthem was performed at Wembley Stadium last week, England defeated Joachim Loew's side in the round of 16. England will face Italy in the European Championship final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, hoping to win their first major prize since the 1966 World Cup.
