UEFA charges Dnipro over fan behavior

Supporters invaded the pitch following the victory over Napoli, which sealed a place in the Europa League final.

Dnipro has been hit by a UEFA charge over the behavior of the club's fans in the aftermath of Thursday's Europa League semifinal victory over Napoli.

The 2-1 win sealed the Ukrainian club's place in the final of the competition, where it will face Sevilla, but the decision of supporters to invade the pitch afterward is now set to be punished.

UEFA has issued an improper conduct charge after it was also revealed a racist banner was unfurled and fireworks were set off inside the stadium.
