It was at the end of July that IFK Göteborg advanced to the Conference League qualifiers after a victory away against Levadia Tallinn.

Afterwards, however, the result was forgotten.

Travelling supporters were responsible for extensive vandalism in the away section and "Blue and White" will now pay 15,000 euros for the damage and an additional 10,000 euros for "conveying a message that is not appropriate for a sporting event," writes the European Football Association (UEFA).

The club must also contact Levadia Tallinn within 30 days to compensate for the damages.

IFK Göteborg condemned the vandalism after the victory and apologised to the Estonian team.
