UPDATE 3-Soccer-UEFA awards Sweden 3-0 win over Denmark
(Adds Denmark news conference quotes)
COPENHAGEN, June 8 (Reuters) - UEFA have handed Sweden a 3-0 win in their abandoned Euro 2008 qualifier with Denmark, the European soccer governing body said on their Web site on Friday.
UEFA also fined the Danish Football Association (DBU) 100,000 Swiss Francs ($81,630) and ordered Denmark to play their next four home Euro 2008 qualifiers at least 250 km (155 miles) from Copenhagen.
The first of those games, against Liechtenstein on Sept. 12, will also have to be played behind closed doors.
The DBU said it would appeal the decision.
Denmark had rallied from 3-0 down to 3-3 at home last Saturday but the match was abandoned in the 89th minute when a drunken fan ran onto the pitch and attacked referee Herbert Fandel after the German awarded Sweden a penalty.
Sweden now lead Group F with 18 points from seven matches, with Spain three points behind. Denmark trail in fourth place on 10 points from six matches.
The DBU said UEFA wanted to make an example out of Denmark and that the punishment was too harsh. Continued...
