Conor Bradley combines with Callum Marshall to put NI ahead after 16 minutesIt doesn't feel like it's been that long, but that's a welcome return for the Leyton Orient midfielder.Spencer does really well to win the ball and he clips it forward. Reid flicks the ball over his head and the defender is across just before he shapes to shoot.Bradley returns the favour once more and Smyth skips inside his man and fires across goal but it's narrowly wide.

Returning to his parent club after spending the 2022/23 season on loan at Bolton Wanderers, the 20-year-old had a breakthrough campaign at Anfield, with a goal and two assists against Chelsea in Premier League action at the end of January bringing his talents to much wider attention.Having become the first Northern Irishman to find the net for Liverpool since Sammy Smyth in 1954, Bradley's first international goal came against Scotland in March's 1-0 win at Hampden Park.

"Being able to get our foot on the ball and play with a bit of freedom will be nice, I think the whole team is looking forward to it. Andorra are without a win in each of their last 16 international matches , while they’ve only scored once in their previous nine games, with their only goal coming via Ricard Fernández in a 1-1 draw with South Africa in March.
