Sweden have been awarded a 3-0 victory after their Euro 2008 qualifier in Denmark on 2 June was abandoned when a spectator ran on to the pitch.
Denmark have been fined £41,000 and must play their next four home games at least 250km away from Copenhagen.
The Group F tie was locked at 3-3 with 89 minutes gone when a fan tried to attack referee Herbert Fandel after he awarded a penalty to Sweden.
Sweden lead Group F, with Spain second and Northern Ireland third.
Denmark are expected to appeal against the decision.
The Swedes now have 18 points, five clear of the Irish, who have a game in hand on the group leaders.
Denmark had fought back from 3-0 down to level the scores when Fandel sent off Danish defender Christian Poulsen and awarded Sweden a penalty.
But his decision was followed by the fan invading the pitch, with several Danish players intercepting the supporter before he could reach the referee.
The officials subsequently left the field and the spot kick remained untaken.
As a further punishment Denmark must play their next home fixture behind closed doors and Poulsen has been handed a three-match ban for punching Sweden's Markus Rosenberg in the stomach.
Poulsen did not play in Denmark's Euro 2008 qualifier against Latvia on Wednesday and so has to serve a further two-match ban.
The unidentified fan said: "It was incredibly stupid of me.
"I want to apologize to Denmark, Sweden and the referee for my inhuman behavior."
Midfielder Poulsen was full of remorse after punching Sweden striker Rosenberg.
"I was involved in a tussle with the Swedish player, who I felt had provoked me twice. I saw red and I hit him," said Poulsen.
"I would like to apologise to my team-mates and the general public. It's the most stupid thing I've ever done.
"Denmark coach Morten Olsen told me afterwards there's no place on this stage for this sort of thing and I have to agree.
"It happened at a time when we had pulled back Sweden's lead and were in the driving seat. I can't condone it."
Olsen, who watched the match from the stands after being sent off in the defeat by Spain in March, added: "It was a black day for Danish football."
