‘Field invasion’ to cost Portugal

A Portuguse fan who ran onto the field to get a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo will cost his national football federation a fine. 

Europe’s football governing body, UEFA, says it has opened a disciplinary case against the Portuguese federation for a "field invasion." 

UEFA holds national teams responsible for the behaviour of their fans inside a stadium. The man ran across half the field from behind one goal at Parc des Princes after Portugal drew 0-0 with Austria last Saturday.

 He caught up with Ronaldo near the halfway line, and Ronaldo gestured to a security official to stay back until the fan got the picture. The fan was then led away.
