FC Andorra Stages Late Comeback to Beat Millwall 2-1 in Preseason Opener

FC Andorra kicked off its preseason with a 2-1 comeback win over English Championship side Millwall in the first friendly of the summer, played at Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia.

The match, held amid intense heat that prompted several hydration breaks, saw Carles Manso's side overturn an 81st-minute deficit. Millwall struck first in the 76th minute through Mathis Servais's powerful long-range shot, which beat goalkeeper Jan Lagunas. But FC Andorra responded swiftly: debutant Nacho Quintana drove forward from midfield and set up Stefan Golubovic, a young player from Gimnàstic de Manresa on trial, to equalize four minutes later with a neat finish inside the area.

Three minutes on, Golubovic pressured a Millwall defender into a misplaced pass near their goal. The loose ball reached Quintana, who slotted home the winner past keeper Isaac Evans to seal the turnaround.

Manso fielded a familiar starting lineup featuring new signings Juan Sebastián at right-back and forward Moró Sidibé, alongside holdovers like captain Nico Ratti, Alende, Bomba, Martí Vilà, Marc Domènech, Efe Akman, Uzkudun, Cerdà, and Lautaro. Sidibé brought energy up top, while Domènech and others created chances, including a first-half free kick that forced a save from Lukas Jensen. Millwall hit the post with a Josh Coburn header in reply.

The second half brought heavy rotation, with only Ratti (until the 70th minute) and Bomba lasting the full 90. Substitutes included Quintana, Hugo Solozábal, Andorran Aron Rodrigo, Thiago Olmedo, Jan Lagunas, Gael Alonso, Villahermosa, Álex Calvo, and Carrique. Millwall also refreshed their lineup entirely.

The first half saw FC Andorra dominate possession without converting it into clear chances, hampered by the conditions and a lack of final precision. Millwall grew bolder after the break but couldn't capitalize before the late surge.

Beyond the result, the game allowed Manso's squad—a week into training—to integrate newcomers, build match rhythm, and show early signs of cohesion ahead of the new campaign.
