Uefa eases CSKA punishment for racism

Third match fan ban suspended for five years probation

CSKA Moscow had their punishment for racist fan behaviour reduced on appeal by Uefa yesterday, meaning they only have to play one more Champions League game behind closed doors.

Uefa said the third game of their three-match ban on fans attending would be suspended for a probationary period of five years.

European football's governing body also reduced the initial €200,000 (£160,000) fine to €100,000, but said the Russian club was still banned from selling away tickets for their two remaining group games.

CSKA's clash with Roma last month, which the Italians won 5-1, had to be halted for several minutes because of crowd trouble. CSKA fans threw flares on to the pitch, scuffles broke out in the stands and a banner containing a racial slur was also unfurled.

It was the third time in a year CSKA had been charged with racist behaviour by Uefa.
