The Slovakia Football Federation says UEFA's Disciplinary Board will be punished for the behavior of the fans when they visit Hungary, its bitter rival.

The statement does not specify the exact offense, but says the game could now be played "without spectators", adding that a fine of € 20,000 could also be imposed.

However, the Slovak federation insisted on its intention to appeal the decision. The Hungarian FA has confirmed that it will incur similar sanctions before its match against Azerbaijan.

A tense atmosphere prevailed at the match in Budapest. Supporters of Dunajska Streda, a Slovak club mainly supported by Hungarian-born fans, took control of the match. Information suggests that they later supported the home team, creating hostility to travel. Fans of Slovakia who finally needed the riot police.

In a statement, the Slovak federation said: "The Slovakia Football Federation has received from the UEFA Disciplinary Council, for the behavior of the Slovak fans in the guest sector during the qualifying match between Hungary and Slovakia.

The order to play the next match, namely the qualifying match for the Slovakia-Wales European Championship on 10 October at 20:45 in Trnava without spectators.

"The SFZ also received a fine of EUR 20,000. However, this is a decision that the SFZ can appeal to and therefore will use all available legal means to allow the Slovak national football team to play an important match with Wales in front of the spectators."

A source at the FAW has told Wales Online that they are aware of the situation, and are seeking further clarification from UEFA.

"I don't think they're the worst results in the world. It was a difficult one with Hungary v Slovakia. We definitely didn't want a Hungary win because they would have gone to 12 points. It's not too bad," he said.

But we've got to focus on ourselves. It's still in our hands if we win every game. It's a big ask because you've seen how tightly contested it is.

"It's all about what team turns up on the day or on the night. You never know what the result is going to be, home or away in this group.

"We just need to look after ourselves. This year we've had four home wins so now we need to pick up points away from home too."
