Holders AC Milan will not ask for last night's 2-1 Champions League defeat at Celtic to be overturned after goalkeeper Dida was carried off after an incident with a fan towards the end of the match.
A supporter ran onto the pitch following the Hoops' late winner against the European champions in the Champions League last night and appeared to tap Dida on the shoulder as he ran across the six-yard box.
Dida initially gave chase to the fan before falling to the floor, and was carried off on a stretcher holding an ice pack to his face.
"We will not appeal. It is a decision that I have agreed with the president Silvio Berlusconi," Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said last night. "It is a decision we have taken because we are European champions and must behave like that."
"When Dida went down it had nothing to do with the result anyway. We made a mistake with the defence," coach Carlo Ancelotti added.
"A fan must never enter the field of play but I don't believe Dida has done anything serious. Now I will see how he is," he said.
Dida was struck by a flare in a Champions League quarter- final second leg with Inter Milan in 2005 and that match was abandoned and handed to Milan, who were 3-0 up on aggregate at the time.
Uefa's director of communications William Gaillard said it would wait for the referee's report before making a decision on whether to punish Celtic over the episode.
Celtic chairman Brian Quinn has urged Uefa to investigate the Dida's "antics". Quinn was quick to condemn the "disgraceful" behaviour of the fan who had invaded the pitch, but felt Dida was guilty of making the most of "minimal" contact.
"I'm making no excuses for the behaviour, and the fan behaved disgracefully, but the contact made with the goalkeeper was minimal, absolutely minimal. The antics of the goalkeeper have to be taken into account as well," Quinn told BBC Radio Five Live.
"All I saw were the TV pictures. He took a couple of steps after the fan and then obviously made this decision that he should go to ground. Unless I missed something he was carried off on a stretcher for what seemed to be the lightest tap you can imagine."
Quinn confirmed his club would investigate how the fan had been able to run onto the pitch and would seek to take the "appropriate action" against the individual concerned.
Two seasons ago, Inter Milan were forced to play four games behind closed doors and were fined after a flare hit Dida during a Champions League quarter-final between the city rivals at the San Siro. The tie was awarded 5-0 to AC Milan.
More recently, Denmark were ordered to play four home Euro 2008 qualifiers at least 250 kilometres away from Copenhagen and fined after a fan invaded the pitch and assaulted German referee Herbert Fandel during a match against Sweden in the Danish capital in June.
The match was awarded 3-0 to the Swedes, although UEFA did subsequently agree to slightly relax the restrictions on where future games could be played.
