  1. Elsewhere in Europe

    It's looking like a good night for Italy, as a goal from Leonardo Boncci has put them 2-0 up in Norway, while the Netherlands and the Czech Republic are still locked at 1-1.

  2. Six minutes added time.

  3. Gareth Bale has been head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. The Real Madrid man has treated this game as seriously as he will be treating Saturday's derby against Atletico Madrid.

    Bale has well and truly bailed Wales out in Andorra.

    Paul, Southampton: When did going 2-1 up against Andorra in a European Qualifier warrant a pitch invasion?

  5. 'There's only one Gareth Bale' roar Wales fans. There's a burst of 'Land of my Fathers' too.

  6. They might be leading but this has been far from straight forward for Wales. Lots of work to be done by Chris Coleman before the next qualifier against Bosnia-Hercegovina on 10 October.

  7. Kevin Ratcliffe
    Former Wales captain & BBC Wales pundit

    "Fantastic goal once again from Gareth Bale. But unfortunately we've had to have Gareth Bale save us once again. This is Chris Coleman's lucky night."

    Jessica Notzing: Bailed out by Bale ... haven't we said that before??

    Daniel Woodley: What a super free-kick from Gareth Bale! Absolutely world class goal. And now he is telling the fans to behave themselves

    Daniel Lewis: Gareth Bale getting us through each game is the only way Wales will qualify.

  9. GOAL

    Where would Wales be without Gareth Bale?

    The Real Madrid man comes to his country's rescue once again with a well executed dipping 25-yard free-kick that sends Wales' travelling fans in raptures.

    Fans spill on to the pitch and Bale cuts short his celebrations and urges them to calm down.

  10. Will the real Aaron Ramsey please stand up? Wales win a free-kick outside the Andorra penalty area but the Arsenal man's set-piece sails out for a goal kick. Very poor. Another Wales change. On comes Fulham's teenage forward George Williams for Andy King.

  11. STAT ATTACK

    A reminder of Andorra's pedigree:

    Andorra had not scored in 18 competitive games before tonight.

    They have lost their last 44 competitive games since a 0-0 draw against Finland on 3 September 2005.

    Andorra have not won in 51 competitive fixtures since a 1-0 success against the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in World Cup qualifying on 13 October 2004.

    Andorra have yet to avoid defeat in 40 European Championship qualifiers.

  12. When it comes to capital cities Andorra la Vella is one of the quietest - even in rush hour. But they'll be dancing on the streets of Andorra's capital if they hold out.

    Wales have stepped up the tempo in the last few minutes but have they left it too late? The hosts are trying to run down the clock at every opportunity.

  13. Twenty minutes of normal time remaining. Twenty minutes for Andorra to hold out and end a run of 44 straight competitive defeats. Twenty minutes for Wales to save their blushes.

    Wilson D: Wales look like a pub team who won a competition to have Gareth Bale in their team

  15. Gareth Bale lines up a shot before letting fly with a powerful drive. It slams into Garcia Miramontes. The expression etched across the Andorra player's face says it all.

    Jon, Manchester: In all seriousness, if the FAW need any help, there is probably only one Pulis in the Welsh phone book.

  17. Wales now have 10 top-flight players on the pitch. And still they struggle to breakdown their part-time hosts.

  18. Euro 2016 qualifyingReuters

    With an hour gone in the 19:45 BST kick-offs around the continent, the action is hotting up.

    Stefan de Vrij has pulled World Cup semi-finalists Netherlands level at 1-1 against the Czech Republic in Prague.

    A Luka Modric daisy-cutter has given Croatia the breakthrough at home to Malta.

    In the same group as Wales and Andorra, Bosnia-Hercegovina have been pegged back to 1-1 at home to Cyprus. Dimitris Christofi scored the visitors' goal.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    And here comes Wales' first change moments after Cristian Martinez flashes a chance narrowly wide for the hosts.

    On comes Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley for Simon Church. Wales need to step up.

  20. Kevin Ratcliffe
    Former Wales captain & BBC Wales pundit

    "Simon Church has led with his arm and these days if you lead with your arm it's a red card. He's a lucky man."
