The Republic of Ireland Under-21s beat Andorra 2-0 in their second Euro 2017 qualifier at the Estadi Communal.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21s have beaten Andorra 2-0 in their second Euro 2017 qualifier at the Estadi Communal.

The visitors handed competitive debuts to Queens Park Rangers' Reece Grego-Cox and West Ham United midfielder Josh Cullen, and it was the latter who bagged the second goal.

Ireland started the match the better side as Andorra looked content to soak up pressure, although they struggled at first to break down a stubborn home defence.

Noel King's side were rewarded for their pressure in the 13th minute when Tommie Hoban put them ahead. The Watford midfielder found space in the box before heading home a Cullen corner.

Cullen doubled the lead nine minutes later when he slotted the ball beyond Victor Silverio from inside the area before almost setting up Alan Browne, but he fired over the bar after being picked out by his teammate.

Ireland continued to dominate possession in the second half but struggled to create clear chances, their best opportunity coming when Jack Connors broke into the box just after an hour.

The Dagenham & Redbridge man appeared to be fouled as he entered the area, but the referee waved away appeals for a penalty and instead booked the defender.

There were no further chances in the closing stages as Ireland made it two wins from two in qualifying.
