UEFA has fined England's Football Association 30,000 euros ($36,000) after a laser pointer was shone at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during what proved to be the deciding moment of their EURO 2020 semifinal.

Television footage showed Kasper Schmeichel being targeted by a spectator using a green laser as England captain Harry Kane stepped up for a penalty in extra time to give the home side a 2-1 win in Wednesday's match at Wembley.

UEFA had opened disciplinary proceedings against England on Thursday. The FA was also charged following a disturbance during the national anthems and for the setting off of fireworks.

Fans booed when Denmark's national anthem was played before kickoff. Jeers 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.

England is looking to win its first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup and plays Italy in the European Championship final at Wembley on Sunday.

More is yet to come after the English FA meeting with the UEFA disciplinary committee and Soireenews will be giving you all the updates.
