Half-Time Report: Andorra putting up fight against Israel

Israel are labouring to a 2-1 win away against Andorra in their Euro 2016 Group B qualifier this evening at the Estadi Nacional.

The visitors opened the scoring within three minutes of kickoff, as Omer Damari smashed the ball home into the top corner following a counter-attack led by Eran Zahavi.

However, the home side were gifted a penalty when Nir Bitton fouled Ildefons Lima in the Israel box just before the quarter-hour mark.

The veteran Santa Coloma defender, opting to take the spot kick himself, tucked the ball into the bottom left corner to draw his side level.

Nevertheless, the away side were back in the lead with just four minutes left in the first half, when Tal Ben Haim's cross was poked home by Damari.
