After crushing the Israeli team 5-0 in a World Cup qualifying match, Norway may face a UEFA penalty.

As the match approaches, a massive demonstration took place around the "Ullevaal" stadium against Jewish actions in the Gaza Strip.

Later, the action moved into the arena itself, where chants directed at Israel were heard and Palestinian flags were being hung en masse.

UEFA strictly prohibits any political expressions in stadiums, so they may impose a hefty fine on the Norwegian Football Federation.
