Nedved booking stands

The Czech Republic’s Pavel Nedved’s booking against Denmark stands, UEFA said.

The Czechs asked UEFA for a review of the incident in the 3-0 quarter-final win, leaving him among 11 players knowing another yellow would exclude them from the July 4 final. The Czechs meet Greece in their semi-final in Porto tomorrow.

UEFA spokesman Robert Faulkner said yesterday: “There was no official protest from the Czechs but they did ask us to look at the incident again.”

However, under Article 44, yellow cards can only be rescinded in the case of mistaken identity.
