Russian fans were filmed fighting with stadium staff in Wroclaw after a 4-1 win over the Czech Republic last Friday. Police said violence flared when stewards tried to detain a man they believed threw a firecracker.

Russia's fine was also imposed for the thrown firework and because fans displayed nationalist flags.
UEFA rules hold football associations responsible for their fans' behavior inside stadiums.
