Croatia, Portugal receive UEFA fines

UEFA have fined two further countries for the behaviour of their fans at Euro 2012.

Earlier today European football's governing body fined both Spain and Russia for racist chanting and now Croatia and Portugal have been sanctioned.

The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) has been fined €30,000 (£24,000) for the setting off of fireworks and display of inappropriate and racist banners in their Group C fixture against Spain.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has been fined €7,000 (£5,600) for a fan's attempt to invade the pitch in the quarter-final against the Czech Republic in Warsaw.
