Israel took the lead early on when Andorran goalkeeper Ferran Pol failed to deal with Nir Biton's long-range strike, palming the ball back into the box where it was fired home by Eran Zahavi.

The home side then doubled their lead when Biton headed home a left-wing free kick at the near post.

Tommer Hemed stretched the lead even further when he stroked home a penalty after he had been scythed down in the box just before the half-hour mark.

Munas Dabbur capped a perfect first half for Eli Guttman's side when he skipped past two Andorran defenders on the edge of the box and fired home.

Hemed went close with a header shortly after the restart, and Maor Melikson saw his long-range strike blocked.

Tal Ben Haim then had his effort hacked off the line, but the home side had already made sure of the three points.
