UEFA sanctions Fenerbahce's Guendouzi, Greenwood after Lyon playoff incident

Sept 4 : Fenerbahce midfielder Matteo Guendouzi and forward Mason Greenwood were handed suspensions and fined by UEFA on Friday following incidents after the club's Champions League second-leg playoff victory over Olympique Lyonnais last month.The punishments stemmed from post-match incidents following Fenerbahce's 2-1 victory in Lyon, where the two players were accused of making provocative gestures towards the home fans.The confrontation escalated after the final whistle, with a brawl breaking out as Frenchman Guendouzi left the pitch.European soccer's governing body said Guendouzi was fined €50,000 ($58,060.00) "for insulting others present at the match, provoking spectators and violating the basic rules of decent conduct" and suspended for four UEFA club competition matches.
