Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta have been kicked out of the Europa League after crowd trouble forced their home game against Georgia’s Dila Gori to be abandoned, UEFA said on Tuesday. Anorthosis, 1-0 up going into the third qualifying round second leg, were 3-0 down in the return fixture last Thursday when violence flared, leading to the game being called off and the match declared forfeit. UEFA said the result stood and Dila Gori will progress to the play-off round and face Portugal’s CS Maritimo on August 23. European football’s governing body said that in addition to being expelled from the competition, Anorthosis will have to play their next three UEFA club competition home games behind closed doors and pay a fine of 50,000 euros £39,000.
