CSKA Moscow: Uefa opens racist chants case after Man City match
Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against CSKA Moscow for the "racist behaviour of their fans" during their home Champions League match against Manchester City.
City midfielder Yaya Toure said he was subjected to racist chanting during his team's 2-1 win in Moscow on Wednesday.
The European governing body says the case will be dealt with by its disciplinary board on 30 October.
Manchester City said on Thursday that they had submitted a formal written complaint to Uefa, which is also looking into the setting off of fireworks by home supporters during the match in the Russian capital.
In May, Uefa announced that in the case of racist incidents involving spectators, a partial stadium closure would be applied for the first offence and a full stadium closure for a second, coupled with a fine of 50,000 euros (£42,800).
CSKA's next home game in the Champions League is against Bayern Munich on 27 November, before which they visit Manchester City on 5 November.
Ivory Coast international Toure said he was "furious" and reported the chants to the referee during the game and afterwards.
