England 2-0 Andorra (Garcia 25′ og, Rice 67′)

VILLA PARK — Dan Burn passed the ball across to Marc Guehi, his centre-back partner. Under minimal pressure around the halfway line, Guehi took his time, then passed across to Reece James, the right-back.

James controlled the ball, looked around the pitch. He saw the entirety of Andorra’s team in two defensive banks in one third of the pitch, his teammates struggling to find any space between. James passed back to Guehi.

Guehi dallied on the ball a bit – probably thought about what he was going to watch on Netflix that night. After a while, he passed the ball to Burn.

Burn on the ball again, with no options in front of him, despite a lot of running left and right, and up and down, he went to Myles Lewis-Skelly, at left-back.
