  1. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:01 British Summer Time 9 September 2014

    This is descending into a right bruising affair. Simon Church becomes the second Wales player to have his name taken for a high arm on an opponent. Still no sign of a Wales substitution.

    Sion, Cardiff: With all this talk of this being a big opportunity for Wales to qualify for a major tournament, surely a friendly last week would have been a good idea, every other nation had one!

    Huggy: As a Welshman working in Manchester in currently not looking forward to going in tomorrow. Please please boys don't make us all look fools.

    Crunch!

    Gareth Bale will do well to get back to Madrid in one piece at this rate.

    A non-League challenge by Ildefons Lima leaves Bale on the floor. Bale picks himself up to fire the free-kick straight at the keeper before Andy King heads a good chance wide.

    No sign of a second Wales goal. No sign of Chris Coleman making any changes.

    Play acting in full flow among Andorra's players. Cristian Martinez rolls around on the grass after contact with Chris Gunter.

    Andorra can count themselves fortunate to still have 11 players on the pitch as Carlos Peppe, who has already been cautioned, escapes another booking following a poor tackle on Gunter.

    Moments later Peppe is replaced.

    Poor from Joe Allen as his corner fails to get past the first man. Easily cleared. Wales need to do better.

    Gareth, Pembroke Dock: Let's get this into perspective. If Bobby Gould brought a Welsh team to Andorra in his reign and couldn't get a win he would be sacked in the morning. Same should apply to Chris Coleman.

    The new half is just a few moments old when goalscorer Ildefons Lima dramatically crumples to the ground following a challenge. Are Andorra counting down the clock already?

    And off we go.

    The players are on their way back out. A huge 45 minutes coming up for Wales. Dropping two points against Andorra at the start of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign is not what Chris Coleman envisaged.

    "Andorra have worked tremendously hard and you can't say they haven't deserved anything out of the first half. We've had a lot of possession but we haven't really created too much. We've got to be a little more creative when we're further forward."

    BBC Radio Wales commentator Rob Phillips in Andorra:, external What a shock! Settle for any sort of win from here. One or two Wales players struggling on pitch.

    BBC Sport's Alistair Magowan at Select Stadium, Widnes: "Birmingham well on top in this one with teenage full-back Jess Carter and Karen Carney coming closest to opening the scoring. Everton are struggling up front without suspended top scorer Nikita Parris and you can see why they have yet to win a league game."

    BBC Sport Wales' Dafydd Pritchard in Andorra: "The Wales fans boo manager Chris Coleman as he leaves the field after a staggering first half.

    "Andorra have lost their last 44 competitive games and failed to score a competitive goals in four years before tonight's game - but they hold Wales 1-1 at the break.

    "The Wales fans are unsurprisingly furious after an embarrassing first 45 minutes of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign."

    Frustration for Wales but credit to Andorra, who have lost their last 44 competitive games. Are the part-timers about to end that sequence?

    "We've got a lot of work to do and Chris Coleman has got a lot of thinking to do at half-time."

    A scrappy half ends on a bad-tempered note as Joe Allen is booked following a niggly incident with Carlos Peppe, the Andorra midfielder also cautioned.

    Wales with it all to do.

    John: Belgium, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Israel will be very tough opponents for Wales in this qualifying campaign. Home form will be absolutely crucial if they are to reach Euro 2016, and whether or not they can pick up points here and there away from home may just make the difference.

    Wales go close to taking the lead with a carbon copy of Gareth Bale's equaliser. Ben Davies arrows a cross into the penalty area but the Real Madrid man cannot connect this time.
