The fan who invaded the pitch during Portugal's game against Austria apparently wanted to get a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal have escaped punishment for a fan running onto the pitch to take a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese Football Federation was charged with field invasion by UEFA after the incident following the goalless Euro 2016 draw with Austria on June 18.
A man ran half the length of the field to grab the photo opportunity
and Ronaldo duly obliged, waving away stewards until the picture had
been taken.
"Charges relating to field invasion had been brought against the
Portuguese Football Federation and the CEDB decided to close the
proceeding," a statement from UEFA said after its independent Control,
Ethics and Disciplinary Body met on Friday.
However, Belgium have been fined €5,000 (£4,149) after charges were
brought relating to the setting off of fireworks and throwing of objects
after their 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland on June 18.
