UEFA fines Turkish champions Besiktas for floodlight failure

The Turkish champions were slapped with the 25,000 euro (£22,280)fine for "insufficient organisation" after the floodlight failure halted the game for 10 minutes.





The German side had made a bright start to the second half of the game but their momentum was halted by the delay and Besiktas hung on for a 2-0 win in Group G.

A breach of the safety and security regulations over blocked stairways also contributed to the level of the fine, UEFA said.
