(Express) – Football’s governing body is holding a ‘priority investigation’ following the shocking scenes that marred England’s 3-0 victory over Cameroon in the Round of 16 clash in France, reports the Mirror.
An incident-packed match saw Toni Duggan being spat at and a horror tackle on Steph Houghton late in the game, with the conduct of Cameroon’s players at half-time and at the end of the game also set to be examined.
The report claims FIFA will take into account all aspects – including comments and allegations made during and after the match in the players’ tunnel – in their investigation.
Before any potential punishment is issued by FIFA, the authorities will also study the reports from referee Liang Qin and match commissioner Alexandro Benado before deciding on a course of action.
