Kazakhstan 3 - Andorra 0

While their European counterparts were playing a myriad of friendlies, the Kazakhs welcomed Andorra to Almaty for the opener of the European 2010 World Cup qualifiers. The home crowd witnessed a show in the first half as the Kazakhs knocked home three goals. The Andorrans were on their worst behavior, drawing six yellows but thankfully no ejections. Kazakhstan won in shutout style 3-0 and took the lead in Group F. If the qualifiers ended today, they would be in the World Cup; they aim to keep it that way.

Goal scorers:
Kazakhstan: Ostapenko 14, 30; Uzdenov 45
