Soccer: Ireland extend lead against Andorra

Andorra 0, Ireland 2 (latest)

Ireland have extended their lead against Andorra in Barcelona.

Kevin Kilbane scored Ireland's second on 76 mins.

A cross, headed by Robbie Keane, was saved by the keeper but fell to Kilbane who tapped in past Sanchez.

Ian Harte scored the first from the spot in the 33rd minute after Roy Keane was brought down by the goalkeeper.

Robbie Keane and Matt Holland missed chances for the away side in the first half.

Gary Doherty replaced David Connolly after 26 mins - the switch is thought to be tactical.

A substantial victory for Ireland would put them top of the group if Holland beat Portugal in the clash of the section's favourites in Oporto.
