UEFA warns Northern Ireland over thrown firework

The Irish Football Association has vowed to prevent any repeat of an incident which saw a firework thrown on to the pitch at Windsor Park after receiving a warning from disciplinary chiefs.

UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary body launched an investigation after an object was thrown on to the playing surface from a section housing visiting supporters during Northern Ireland’s 0-0 Euro 2016 Group F qualifier draw with Romania on June 13.
