BELGRADE (Reuters) - UEFA has punished Serbia coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic with a one-match ban and fined the Balkan nation's FA 20,000 euros (18,027 pounds) for a delayed kickoff in their 1-0 Nations League home defeat by Hungary last month.

Serbia turned up several minutes late from the tunnel at Red Star stadium for the Group B3 match on Oct. 11 and European soccer's governing body said it had also fined Tumbakovic 5,000 euros.
