Spartak Moscow can expect a call from UEFA's head office after one of its fans fired a flare halfway across the pitch during Wednesday's match against Maribor.
While it's not entirely clear, it appears as though match official Deniz Aytekin was the target, as a flare came flying above the pitch before stopping near the centre circle.
There was also unrest before the match, as a group of Spartak supporters clashed with police in the Slovenian city.
