Croatia deducted Euro 2016 point for pitch swastika

Croatia have been deducted a point from their Euro 2016 qualifying Group H as punishment for a swastika painted on the pitch before a match against Italy.

Uefa also fined the Croatian Football Federation (CFF) 100,000 Euros (£70,000) and ordered their next two games to be played in an empty stadium.

The CFF claim the incident was an act of "sabotage" and can appeal.

Croatia remain top of Group H, a point above Italy, even with the deduction.

The top two teams from each group automatically qualify for next summer's finals in France.
