UEFA on Wednesday opened disciplinary proceedings against Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano after he scored a controversial goal in Tuesday's Champions League game at Danish side Nordsjaelland. The Brazilian faces charges for "violation of the principles of conduct" under Article 5 of UEFA's Disciplinary Regulations and his case will be heard by the governing body's Control and Disciplinary Body on November 27.
Article 5 concerns issues of fair play and the Danish fans were outraged after Shakhtar's Willian, following an uncontested bounce ball by the referee, punted the ball towards the Danes' keeper after a foul on Morten Nordstrand.
However, Adriano latched onto the ball, raced through a bemused defense and rounded the keeper to level the match at 1-1.
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu later apologized for Adriano's behavior and said he had instructed his players to allow Nordsjaelland to score immediately and take a 2-1 lead. Nordsjaelland skipper Nikolai Stockholm said: "Their striker didn't get it. I looked down at my armband and there's something about respect - it has to be said we didn't see much of that."
