Andorra draw… after 58 defeats

Andorra ended a run of 58 competitive defeats stretching back more than 11 years by drawing 0-0 with the Faroe Islands, who had a man sent off, yesterday. Though they beat San Marino in a friendly last month, Andorra had lost every World Cup or European Championship qualifier since a goalless draw with Finland in September 2005. Despite completing only 94 passes – an average of one a minute, once stoppage time is considered – Andorra survived to ensure their competitive record now reads: one win, three draws and 96 defeats, with a goal difference of minus 285.
