European Qualifiers, France 3-0 Andorra: 3 reasons why Les Blues won the match 

#2 Defending with the ball against a toothless Andorra outfit

Hugo Lloris watched on without having to make a save in the entire match

If 31 efforts (with 12 of them being on target) to go along with the 84% possession statistic weren't enough to demonstrate France's supremacy in the game, the fact that they faced only one shot in 90 minutes confirmed it.

Hugo Lloris barely stretched his arms as Andorra failed to test him with an effort on target. In games such as these, where the opposition is defending in numbers and struggling to stitch together a few passes, it's important to mold into a ball retention-based setup.

In order to avoid a counter, France deployed a smoother, safer passing approach to the game as well.

However, it was the structure that impressed everyone, as they simply did not let Andorra get out of their own half. The likes of Raphael Varane and Clement Lenglet were well wide and advanced - ahead of the half line - in their quest to keep the ball and supply forward passes.

They were more or less always shielded by a couple of midfielders on either side diagonally, to sting out both wide and potential central attacks.

France defended with the ball, capitalized on Andorra's sloppy play at times and pressed high up the pitch.
