Crowd violence led to the Europa League fixture being delayed by 45 minutes

LYON and Besiktas both face bans from European competition if there is a repeat of the crowd trouble that marred their Europa League quarter-final first leg in France on 13 April, Uefa say.

Both clubs have also been fined 100,000 euros (£83,800) after clashes between fans before kick-off.

The tie at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, which ended 2-1 to Lyon, kicked off 45 minutes late.

The return leg in Turkey takes place on Thursday (20:05 WAT).
