Germans fined by Fifa over celebrations

Fifa has fined two German football federation officials for provoking Sweden’s bench while celebrating victory.

Fifa says Georg Behlau and Ulrich Voigt must each pay 5,000 Swiss francs (£3,800) fines, and were reprimanded for their unsporting behaviour.

Apologies by the two men and promises not to work “within the stadium premises” when Germany play South Korea today were taken into account by Fifa’s disciplinary panel.

Germany beat Sweden 2-1 win with a winning goal by Toni Kroos deep into stoppage time on Saturday.

Footage showed Voigt and Behlau walking towards the Sweden dugout at the final whistle and seeming to gloat by clapping and pointing at their opponents.

Fifa says Swedish team official Jan Gustavsson was also warned about his behaviour.
