Portugal have avoided punishment after a pitch invader took a selfie with captain Cristiano Ronaldo during a Euro 2016 match.
The incident drew a charge from Uefa, but the case was closed after a meeting of its independent disciplinary body.
The fan had been allowed to run half the length of the pitch to get the picture, during the goalless draw with Austria[1] on June 18.
Ronaldo was happy to oblige, waving stewards away and posing.
Portugal went on to qualify from Group F as one of the four best third-place finishers, and progressed to the quarter-finals after a stoppage-time victory[2] over Croatia on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Belgium have been fined 5,000 euros (£4,170) by European football’s governing body Uefa after fans set off fireworks during their 3-0 victory over Republic of Ireland[3] in Group E, also on 18 June.
