UEFA has fined five clubs over crowd trouble during the final qualifying round for the Champions League.
Belgium's Anderlecht received the hardest punishment as UEFA handed out a 20,000 Swiss francs (16,526 U.S. dollars) fine after fans threw missiles and attempted to rush to the pitch during their second leg defeat against Turkish side Fenerbahce in Brussels.
Fenerbahce, who went through 3-0 over the two legs, was fined 8,000 Swiss francs for their supporters setting off fireworks.
Italy's Lazio and Romania's Dinamo Bucharest were fined 12,000 and 9,000 Swiss francs respectively for incidents involving fireworks during their third round meeting. Lazio advanced to the main draw as a 4-2 aggregate winner.
Red Star Belgrade was also given a 10,000 Swiss francs fine by the committee after its supporters threw missiles during its qualifier against Rangers, which ended in a 1-0 overall victory for the Glasgow side.
