UEFA charges AEK Athens for crowd misbehavior

NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA has charged AEK Athens for crowd misbehavior in Tuesday's Champions League game against Bayern Munich.

European soccer's ruling body accuses AEK fans of throwing objects, lighting fireworks and blocking stairways during the 2-0 defeat to Bayern in the Greek capital.

AEK is last in Group E after losing all three games.

Three other Greek clubs — Olympiacos, PAOK Thessaloniki and Asteras Tripolis — have been fined by UEFA this season for a variety of offenses. These included PAOK fans using a laser pointer, Olympiacos supporters throwing objects and setting off fireworks, and a pitch invasion at Asteras' stadium.
