Yangon, Oct 20 (IANS): Myanmar's football authorities were Monday fined $24,000 after their fans invaded the pitch post a AFC U-19 Championships game here.

Hosts Myanmar beat the United Arab Emirates 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the AFC U-19 Championship Friday to clinch a place in the U-20 World Cup, reports Xinhua.

Dozens of fans, however, invaded the pitch to celebrate after the match.
