Group G game saw 11 players booked as Serbia were eliminated

Fifa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Serbia on three counts relating to their stormy group-stage defeat by Switzerland.

Serbia lost Friday’s game 3-2 and were eliminated from the World Cup. They are already under an existing investigation for displaying a flag that included Kosovo in their nation’s territory in their dressing room before facing Brazil eight days previously; now the governing body has begun a new set of cases for incidents that occurred during and around a match whose tensions steadily ramped up.
