UEFA has charged Romania and Albania with several disciplinary breaches that occurred during Sunday's Group A clash in Lyon.

Both countries have been charged with "setting off fireworks" and the "throwing of objects" by supporters during the game, which Albania won 1-0 to claim their first ever victory at a major tournament.

Albania are also subject to an additional charge of "field invasion" by one fan, while both countries already face sanctions for infringements during prior matches.

The result eliminated Romania from Euro 2016, while Albania will find out on Wednesday whether they will qualify for the last 16.
