Uefa is investigating "potentially discriminatory incidents" which took place during Germany's 2-2 draw with Hungary at Euro 2020.
It is believed the incidents relate to an anti-LGBT banner that was brought into Wednesday's game in Munich by Hungarian fans.
There were also reports of anti-LGBT chanting by some Hungarian supporters.
Last weekend, Uefa opened an investigation into similar incidents during Hungary's other group matches.
Germany needed a late goal from Leon Goretzka to salvage a draw which knocked out Hungary and set up Tuesday's meeting with England in the last 16.
The incidents came after Uefa refused a request from Munich's mayor for the stadium to be lit in rainbow colours for the game in protest at an anti-LGBT law in Hungary.
Munich mayor Dieter Reiter made the request in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the sharing of any content seen as promoting homosexuality and gender change to under-18s.
Uefa says it denied the request because of the "political context" with Reiter describing Uefa's decision as "shameful".
Before kick-off on Wednesday, a protestor waving a rainbow flag invaded the pitch during the Hungarian national anthem and hoisted a rainbow flag into the air in front of Hungary's players before being tackled by stewards.
