Match Analysis: Wales 2-0 Andorra

Wales rounded off their successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over minnows Andorra in Cardiff.

Aaron Ramsey broke the deadlock early in the second half in a match was that essentially meaningless, with the Dragons having booked their place in the finals ahead of kickoff.

Gareth Bale added a second four minutes from time to add some gloss to the scoreline.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the action to establish whether it was a fair result.

Match statistics

WALES Shots: 32 On target: 11 Possession: 81% Corners: 13 Fouls: 14

ANDORRA Shots: 1 On target: 0 Possession: 19% Corners: 1 Fouls: 15

Was the result fair?

Absolutely. Wales dominated possession as expected, seeing a whopping 81% of the ball during the 90 minutes and having 32 shots on goal.

Although Chris Coleman's side were wasteful at times and should arguably have put more than two past the Group B whipping boys, they deserved nothing less than three points.

Wale's performance

It was far from Wales' best performance of the qualifying campaign, but they got the job done. The sheer quality of Bale and Ramsey stood out against part-time opposition and the Dragons spent most of the 90 minutes in the Andorran half.

Sam Vokes could have been more clinical in the Welsh attack, but his presence was enough to keep the opposition's backline under constant pressure.

Wales responded to Andorra's park-the-bus tactics by peppering their goal with chances, and the relentless pressure ultimately paid off.

Andorra's performance

The gulf in quality was on show tonight as Andorra struggled to keep up with the pace set by world-class players such as Bale and Ramsey.

They employed cheap tactics like time wasting and defending with eleven men. The visitors were also scrappy and committed numerous fouls, although they did well to hold out as long as they did before falling behind.

Sports Mole's man of the match

Aaron Ramsey: Ramsey scored one and set one up this evening, and it always looked like something was going to happen every time he touched the ball. Andorra simply had no answer to the Arsenal man's skills and creativity going forward.

Biggest gaffe

This goes to Andorra's Max Llovera, who came within an inch of scoring a howler of an own goal in the 30th minute. The defender headed a long ball back to goalkeeper Ferran Pol, but put far too much on it, forcing the stopper to tip the ball over the bar to save his blushes.

Referee performance

Kevin Blom had his work cut out as fouls were plentiful and Andorra were guilty of time wasting on more than one occasion. He was too lenient to begin with, but eventually ran out of patience and did what was necessary to keep the discipline. Seven Andorra players saw yellow during the match.

What next?

WALES: Wales are off to France as Group B runners-up. Their next competitive match is against Moldova in a World Cup qualifier next year, but they will no doubt be playing a few friendlies before the Euros.

ANDORRA: Andorra's next competitive international is a World Cup qualifier against Latvia next September.
