UEFA has fined the German football association ?25,000 ($31,200) after fans displayed a neo-Nazi flag at a European Championship match.
Germany has now been disciplined for fans' behavior at all three Euro 2012 group-stage matches, and paid fines totaling ?40,000 ($50,000).
UEFA said fans were guilty of ''improper conduct'' at the match against Denmark on June 17.
Monitors from the Europe-wide FARE fans' group identified the neo-Nazi symbol after being appointed to help offensive flags, chants and behavior in Euro 2012 stadiums.

German fans also threw paper missiles at Portugal and Netherlands players at earlier matches.
