Soccer-Serbia hit with partial stadium closures over supporter behaviour

Serbian fans displayed "racist and discriminatory" behaviour, caused damage to the stadium, threw objects and lit fireworks during a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Zurich on Nov. 15, UEFA's disciplinary body said in a statement on Wednesday. Similar offences three days later in a goalless home draw with Denmark led to a one-match partial stadium closure and the activation of a suspended one-match partial closure sentence from October, the statement added.
