Wales FA could be punished for pitch invasion in Andorra
You can forgive Wales supporters for being excited. Euro 2016 represents their best chance to qualify for a major tournament in many years, and they showed up in droves for the team's first qualifier in Andorra.
It looked bleak for a few minutes after Andorra opened the scoring from the penalty spot, but Gareth Bale came to the rescue, scoring twice to secure a nervy 2-1 win.
Welsh fans invaded the pitch following Bale's second goal, and that action could come with some consequences.
Uefa confirm the Football Association of Wales could be fined after field invasion by Welsh fans against Andorra last night. More to follow.

No fun is to be had when UEFA is lurking. Hopefully the decision makers acknowledge the effort made by Bale and his teammates to quell the pitch invasion before it got too out of hand.
