Match Overview

The international friendly match between Estonia and Andorra took place at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn, Estonia. The stadium, which was inaugurated in 2001, has a capacity of 14,336 spectators.

The match ended in a 0-0 draw, with neither team able to break the deadlock, extending both nations’ winless streaks as they prepare for the final stretch of World Cup qualifying.

Team Performance

Estonia dominated possession throughout the match, moving the ball from side to side in search of space. However, Andorra proved to be a tough defensive unit, effectively closing down passing lanes and maintaining their compact defensive formation.

The home team’s best opportunity came from a corner kick, but the resulting shot lacked both power and placement, making it an easy save for the Andorran goalkeeper.

Current Form and Rankings

According to the latest FIFA Rankings, Estonia is ranked 126th, while Andorra sits at 174th. Estonia has been struggling with form, having lost their last four games and winning just one of their last nine, while Andorra is enduring a difficult seven-game winless run during which they have failed to score and conceded 11 goals.

World Cup 2026 Qualifying Context

This friendly match comes as part of both teams’ preparation for the UEFA World Cup qualifying campaign, which runs from March 2025 to November 2025, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, across 16 cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Looking Ahead

Estonia will be looking to improve their form after suffering four defeats in their last five games, with their sole victory coming against Moldova in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The team aims to use these friendly matches as an opportunity to rebuild following their elimination from the qualifiers.
