Croatia deducted one point in Euro 2016 qualifying for racist incident

Croatia are deducted one point in Euro 2016 qualifying due to a racist incident involving their supporters.

Croatia have been deducted one point in Euro 2016 qualifying following a racist incident involving their fans.

The team has also been ordered to play their next two games behind closed doors, while a €100,000 (£70,674) fine has been handed out to the Croatian Football Federation.

The punishment relates to an incident last month which saw supporters paint a swastika onto the pitch at the Stadion Poljud in Split before the team's 1-1 draw with Italy.

Croatia are also banned from playing any of their remaining Euro 2016 qualifying matches at the Stadion Poljud. They have the right to appeal the sanctions.

Despite being deducted one point, Niko Kovac's side remain at the top of the Group H table. However, their lead over second-placed Italy has now been reduced to one point.
