In the EM semifinals between England and Denmark there were many controversial scenes.
UEFA has now sanctioned the decisive penalty.
These are the consequences for England.
London - Wembley's penalty: It was the excitement of this European Championship *.
England's late winning goal in the semifinals against Denmark * was not only flattering, as the majority of the spectators felt - it was "hideous".
One day before the big European Championship final, UEFA therefore imposed a fine on the English association.
What happened?
When Denmark's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and England's Harry Kane faced each other in the 102nd minute on the already highly controversial penalty *, a green light flickered in the stadium, directly on Schmeichel's face.
English fans tried to dazzle the Danish keeper with a laser pointer in the decisive game scene, as later TV recordings clearly show.
He had noticed the laser long before and complained to referee Danny Makkelie in the second half of regular time - without success.
Although the English "fans" had no success with their distraction at the penalty kick - Schmeichel parried and only had to reach back in the margin - the grossly unsporting incident still has consequences.

Laser pointer scandal on penalties against Denmark: 30,000 euros penalty for England
The European Football Union (UEFA) imposed a fine of 30,000 euros on the English association and remained very mild with its sanction.
In addition to the use of the laser pointer, disruptions by fans while the Danish national anthem was being played and fireworks being set off in Wembley Stadium were punished.
At first it was unclear what the result of the British police investigation would be.
The British Secretary of State Susan Williams announced this in Parliament in London on Thursday.
It is from her that the term "abominable" comes from.
UEFA also began its investigation into the incident on Thursday.
