UEFA to decide on Denmark-Sweden after fracas

COPENHAGEN, June 2 (Reuters) Denmark fought back from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Sweden in a Euro 2008 Group F qualifier today -- but the result might be overturned by UEFA after a fan attacked the referee.

The match was abandoned with a minute to play after the fan attacked referee Herbert Fandel just before the end.

In a statement on their Web site, UEFA confirmed the match was halted just before the end and said the result will not be confirmed until an investigation by its disciplinary committee upon receipt of the referee and delegate reports.

Local media announced somewhat prematurely that Sweden had been awarded the match 3-0, but the outcome cannot be decided until the disciplinary committee have ruled on the matter.

The fracas began after Denmark's Christian Poulsen was sent off just before the end of the game.

Fandel signalled a penalty for Sweden, but before it could be taken, a supporter rushed onto the pitch and struck out at the German who handled last week's Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool.

Fandel immediately blew the whistle before full time and walked off the pitch.

Sweden rushed into a 3-0 lead after 26 minutes with Johan Elmander scoring twice and Petter Hansson adding the other.

Denmark fought back with goals from Daniel Agger, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Leon Andreasen who made it 3-3 15 minutes from time.
