Stuart Pearce has stated that it is up to UEFA what happens now after the FA reported the 'scenes of racism' after England Under 21s' match against Serbia.
Stamping out
Steve Wigley, one of England's coaching staff, also appeared to be caught up in the trouble as the players left the field
Pearce said: "It is very sad, but we are united as a team and a staff.
"A lot is happening in our country with regard to stamping out racism and I am very proud of the reaction of our players towards the end.
"It is a real shame because over two ties, it was a really close game - two good teams going hammer and tongs at each other.
"It is just a shame it was soured in the last few minutes of the second leg of the tie."
He added: "Savo Milosevic, their technical director, has come to our dressing room and apologised for any behaviour that was unsavoury.
"I never want to see any football matches end like that, this is a sporting arena."
