Prague, Mar 21 (AP) Viktoria Plzen was fined 30,000 euros (USD 32,700) by UEFA for objects being thrown by its fan in the Europa Conference League.
The Czech Republic club was also ordered to partially close its stadium where its diehard fans sit. The order was suspended for a probation period of two years.
Plzen said three fans threw objects and one of them hit Servette Geneva goalkeeper Frick with a cup in the March 14 game.
The behaviour was "unacceptable," Plzen said on Thursday, adding it was taking legal advice about further steps to punish the fans.
Plzen won the game 3-1 on penalties after both legs ended goalless in regulation time. Plzen will meet last year's runner-up Fiorentina in the quarterfinals of the third-tier European competition. AP
