Albania and Costa Rica have had their punishments for violence at recent Germany 2006 qualifiers reduced on appeal. Albania must now play only their next home match, against Georgia on SAT 04 JUN 2005, behind closed doors and must pay a fine of only 20,000 Swiss francs [US$17,000]. Costa Rica must still play Panama in a closed setting on SAT 26 MAR 2005 but must only pay a fine of 10,000 Swiss francs [US$8,600].
