Lithuania
Andorra
Lithuania dismantled Andorra through sheer weight of numbers, racking up 94 dangerous attacks to just 15 and firing 13 shots compared to their opponents' meager two. The hosts wrapped up the game's key moments inside the first half, with Manfredas Ruzgis converting a penalty in the 21st minute before Faustas Steponavičius doubled the lead six minutes later with an assist from Eligijus Jankauskas. Andorra never threatened a way back, managing zero shots on target across the full 90 minutes, and a flurry of substitutions from both sides in the second half did little to change the pattern of play. Armandas Kučys added a third deep into stoppage time to put a emphatic bow on a match that was effectively settled before half-time, a result that will do little for Andorra's confidence but offers Lithuania useful momentum and squad depth heading into future fixtures.

Lithuania host Andorra in a low-key friendly in Kaunas, with the hosts favored to grind out another narrow win over their historically overmatched opponents. Both sides arrive off recent draws, setting up what's expected to be a cagey, defensively-minded affair rather than a goal fest.
