• Defender almost certain to be suspended for longer than one match • Marseille and Vitória de Guimarães investigated over pitch invasionUefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against Patrice Evra after the Marseille defender aimed a kick at the head of one of his club’s supporters before the Europa League match at Vitória de Guimarães. The former Manchester United player, named as a substitute for Thursday’s fixture, lashed out at the fan before the match in Portugal had started and was sent off. Marseille, who also had Boubacar Kamara dismissed during the game, were beaten 1-0. The Marseille manager, Rudi García, said Evra had reacted to taunts fromthe fans but still criticised his actions. “Pat has experience and he must not react, it’s obvious,” García was quoted by L’Équipe as telling BeIN Sports.
