This isn’t a street-fighting championship, says Russia's Artem Dzyuba
The Russian Football Union was handed the sanction plus a fine of €150,000 over offences of crowd disturbances, use of fireworks and racist behaviour inside Marseille’s Stade Velodrome in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with England.
However, Uefa’s control, ethics and disciplinary body, which met in Paris to consider the case, has warned any further incidents of violence inside grounds at any of Russia’s matches will result in the suspension being lifted and the country being expelled from the tournament.
