It was a stark contrast to the scenes on Sunday night as police clashed with England fans just 24 hours before kick-off.


The FA moved to condemn the behaviour of some fans on Monday, warning that those involved would be banned if caught.

A statement from the FA released on Monday afternoon read: 'We condemn the unacceptable behaviour witnessed in Seville.

'With the Spain fixture still to come on Monday night, we urge those following the team to respect our hosts and act in a responsible manner.

'The FA will work in partnership with the UK Football Policing Unit to help identify those involved and we will sanction any England Supporters' Travel Club member found to be responsible for disorder.'

The behaviour of those involved was particularly disappointing given the FA's advice before fans flew out to Spain.

The FA had urged those travelling to stay away from problem areas and avoid a repeat of scenes that followed the England football team's last away game in Spain three years ago.

When similar trouble occurred surrounding the friendly against Holland in Amsterdam in March, 13 members of the ESTC were identified as being among the trouble-makers.

It is understood one member of the ESTC, who was caught on camera throwing unattended pedal cycles into a canal, was given a life ban for his misconduct in Amsterdam.

A further 10 were given three-year bans while a further member remains suspended
