Mason Edwards : Still some work to be done but

Full time – Wales 0-0 Israel

Attendance today 32,653 including 200 Israel fans.

We’re one step closer but still some work to be done.

Let’s look at the positives, though. It’s still another point in Group B, we’re still top and going strong.

We’ve now not conceded a goal in 504 minutes of football.

Our defence was magnificent once again very reliable as always.

FIRST HALF :

Wales had 65% possession in the first half, with Israel not even managing a shot on goal.

That gives you an idea of how things went in the first 45 minutes at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Half time: Wales 0 – 0 Israel

So that’s the first half in the bag.

Wales looked relaxed and were being put under very little pressure by the visitors.

However, despite a fast start, Chris Coleman’s men have were unable to break down the visitors who were sitting very deep.

Aaron Ramsey was running the show from midfield.

SECOND HALF :

As the Second Half started Wales continued with good possession and had a few more decent chances including Gareth Bale coming close from just outside the box.

Israel continued sitting very deep but did have one good chance but Hennessy tipped the ball over the Goal, a part from that they didn’t cause any danger going forward.

Simon Church scored in the dying moments of the game but was disallowed for offside.

Now the nation faces a nervous wait for news from Nicosia, a draw or win for Cyprus against Belgium still enough to confirm Wales’ place in France. That game kicks off at 7.45pm

Our fans were magnificent once again today fair play to them all

“We are top of the league”, they roared, giving Bale and Co a standing ovation for the sterling 90 minute performance they had just provided.

CYMRU AM BYTH
