Andorra 2-0 Liechtenstein, Friendly, 4 June 2026

Andorra beat Liechtenstein 2-0 last night, a result Koldo badly needed to validate his reshaped squad depth ahead of the autumn calendar.

The first half felt flat, possession without incision. Marc Pujol’s booking in the 44th minute summed it up, a veteran winger pushing for tempo but running into a disciplined away block while Konrad FĂŒnfstĂŒck kept numbers behind the ball.

Koldo ripped up the script on 56 minutes with a quadruple switch. Ot Remolins Planes, Ricard FernĂĄndez Cucu, Alexandre MartĂ­nez, and Francisco Pomares came on together, shifting the 4-4-2 into a fresher rhythm. The effect was immediate: width from Remolins, sharper movement from Cucu, and MartĂ­nez finding gaps between tired Liechtenstein legs.

Liechtenstein responded at 60 minutes with Kenny Kindle and Philipp Gassner, yet they never managed a shot. Andorra’s press grew bolder, even after Ian Bryan Olivera collected a yellow card in the 68th minute. Koldo doubled down in the 71st minute by summoning Jordi AlĂĄez and JesĂșs Rubio, and suddenly the hosts owned the half-spaces.

The breakthrough arrived in the 73rd minute when Alexandre Martínez, on the pitch for barely a quarter of an hour, capped the sustained pressure with the opening goal. Eight minutes later Aláez converted from the spot in the 80th minute to close the contest, sealing the payoff from Andorra’s bench rebellion.

Liechtenstein finished with a solitary caution, Alessio Hasler’s yellow card in the 87th minute, plus a scatter of late substitutions at 89 minutes that changed nothing. Justin Ospelt never received protection in midfield, Marcel BĂŒchel’s withdrawal in the 77th minute underlined the visitors’ fading resistance, and FĂŒnfstĂŒck’s unit left Encamp without a single attempt on target or off it.

Tactical Detail

Andorra’s 4-4-2 started measured but the second-wave midfielders changed the passing lanes. Remolins and Rubio stretched Liechtenstein laterally, and Marc Vales replaced Éric Izquierdo in the 83rd minute to lock the back line. Cucu’s pressing from the front isolated Andreas Malin and Jens Hofer, forcing hurried clearances that came straight back.

Liechtenstein’s shape collapsed once BĂŒchel departed; Kindle and Gassner lacked the composure to hold the ball, so Hasler and Meier were pinned deep as auxiliary full backs. With zero shots registered, FĂŒnfstĂŒck will know the transition plan from midfield to attack needs urgent work before competitive fixtures return.

Next Steps
