UEFA, the governing body of European soccer, is investigating an incident in which, in the biggest moment in the Euro 2020 semifinal between Denmark and England, a laser pointer was aimed at the face of Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel as he awaited a penalty kick by Harry Kane.
The green light was visible on the television broadcast, shining on the right side of Schmeichel’s face, and he stopped Kane’s shot. But the ball ricocheted off him and back to Kane, who put it into the net and sent England into Sunday’s final against Italy. Schmeichel appeared unfazed and the perpetrator, presumably in the stands in London’s Wembley Stadium, has not been found.
