28-0 Killing! Rice scored a header, England won 2-0 Andorra s World Cup qualifiers unbeaten 35 games

On this month's international match day, the European qualifiers for the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup rekindled, and many giants also launched an attack on the quota of the World Cup main match. On this match day, the three Lions Army, which remained the top spot in Group K, England, was at home and faced Andorra, who was at the bottom of the group. England's offensive performance in this game was far from expectations, but it still relied on the opponent's own gift package and Rice's header to defeat Andorra 2-0. While completing the eight consecutive wins against the latter, the total score was rewritten to kill 28-0! England, which ranks fourth in the world, far surpasses Andorra, which ranks only 174 in overall strength. This can also be seen from the past record of the two sides. In 7 direct dialogues, the Three Lions not only maintained a complete victory, but also scored Andorra in every game, and drew 26 goals from the opponent. This is also the reason why fans were optimistic about England's victory at home before the game.

In this game, Tuchel set out a 4231 formation. The starting goalkeeper continued to trust Pickford. Skelly, Danburn, Guy and Rees James built a defense line. Rice and Anders partnered with two midfielders. Rashford, Eze and Maduaike lined up in the midfield, and Harry Kane was the single arrow.

After the referee's whistle, England began to siege Andorra amid the cheers of home fans. In order to avoid a tragedy, the latter directly set up a five-back and a four-midfielder iron barrel formation, trying to squeeze the attack space of the Three Lions. However, in the 10th minute, England still completed the shot in the opponent's penalty area. Unfortunately, Kane's left foot shot angle was too straight and was easily confiscated by Andorra's goalkeeper. Five minutes later, Eze fired at the front of the penalty area and was resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper again. The Three Lions, whose offensive remains unabated, finally broke through Andorra's iron barrel formation in the 25th minute. Maduaike made a cross from the right, and the visiting defender Garcia accidentally scored an own goal, giving England a 1-0 lead. Before the half-time game, Kane received a 45° cross from his teammate on the right, but the header did not suppress the ball, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

The change of sides and then changed sides, England continued to put pressure on Andorra's defense. In the 50th minute, Maduaike sent an inverted triangle cross. Eze's shot was bravely blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Then Rashford got the opportunity to make a follow-up shot, but unfortunately his shot was irrelevant and missed a good opportunity to score.

England, which continued to attack fiercely, expanded its lead in the 68th minute. Reese James made a precise cross from the right, and Rice, who was unmarked at the back point, shot out a bounce to the earth, helping the Three Lions expand the lead advantage to 2-0. For the rest of the time, England continued to besiege the opponent near the Andorra penalty area, but unfortunately he was unable to convert the advantage on the field into a goal. Fortunately, the defensive end did not give the opponent any chance and successfully completed a clean sheet at home.

Although the offensive performance did not meet expectations, England successfully defeated Andorra and raised its unbeaten record in the World Cup to 35 games, continuing to rank first in the group. After two days of rest, England will go to the away game to challenge Serbia, which has a stronger strength. Let's wait and see whether it can continue its winning streak.
