The England soccer team was charged by Europe’s governing body for the sport over its fans’ behavior at Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semifinal, including what appeared to be a laser pen pointing at Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during a penalty.

UEFA opened proceedings over the incident, also charging England over a disturbance during Denmark’s national anthem, and lighting fireworks.
