Euro 2016 organisers Uefa hit Croatia with a 100,000 euro fine on Monday for crowd trouble during the country’s match against the Czech Republic on 17 June.

Croatia fans hurled around a dozen flares onto the pitch at St Etienne forcing the referee Mark Clattenburg to halt play for five minutes in the 86th minute.

When the match restarted, Czech Republic scored an equaliser from the penalty spot. The match finished 2-2.

Uefa also ordered the Croatian federation, the HNS, not to sell tickets to fans "identified by the HNS and the Croatian authorities as hooligans." But the ticket sanction was deferred until the end of the tournament.

Organisers have already told the Russian football federation that its team will be disqualified if its fans misbehave again during the tournament.

Russia play Wales in Toulouse on Monday night. On 11 June, Russia fans were involved in fights with England supporters before and after their match in Marseille. Russian fans chanted racist abuse during the game and also charged a section of the Velodrome housing England supporters.
