Wales face sanction over fans' conduct in Andorra

Gareth Bale scored twice as Wales came from behind to beat their hosts 2-1 in their opening Euro 2016 qualifier, escaping a major upset to claim the three points.

A number of travelling supporters leapt over advertising hoardings to celebrate following Bale's winner nine minutes from time, but were quickly encouraged back into the stand by a combination of the Andorran stewards and Welsh players.

The Andorran Football Federation are also facing charges relating to a lack of organisation at the Group B fixture, as well as for "improper conduct of the team", who received six yellow cards.
