[Applause] [Music] you could hear the voices of the red wall loud and clear and now the Montenegro AR Anthem oh bright dawn of May [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Singing in the Rain in nikic in Montenegro as the two sides just cursory touch of the hands all the moneger players wear number 13 that's going to be a problem for identification but I think they will take off their green tops because they play in red with uh gold trim and they've made a number of changes five uh six changes for them including the return of the captain Stefan y their top scorer the former Manchester City player has 36 goals he was a substitute uh in their defeat in Iceland on Thursday so they have beovic in goal cross back mic rubic and vich brovich and yic are in Midfield kage ytic and christovich behind stepan mcusa and Craig pamy has made five changes debut for Carl darlo at the age of 33 and goal Chris meon returns from suspension in the backline of Joe Rhoden and Ben Davis the captain Connor Robertson Nik Williams will push in the Midfield Ethan amambo and a first start for Swansea City's oie Cooper and then up front Kea Moore either side of him Harry Wilson and a first start for the exciting Liverpool talent Lewis Kuma Haron Ramsey on the bench Harry Wilson the one player in this side who goes into the game on a yellow card of course two yellows and he misses the next game but plenty of Cavalry on the bench for Wales given this lineup so there a round of applause as both sides take the center the circle Georgie kabakov from Bulgaria is the referee the uh all in fact all the officials are from bulgary including the dragomir draganov the Bulgarian V man and just to mention Carl daro he becomes wales's oldest postwar debutant at the age of 33 and the record he beats is held by Martin margetson who has just returned to the Wales Squad as goalkeeping coach margetson was just over the age of 32 we won't go beyond the war because there's some doubt as to the ages of one or two of the players who may be older than even carallo to make his first start for his country so Two Italians two monan clubs Hungarian Korean Scotland and two from Spain they are A League of Nations these Montenegro players and Wales in the pouring rain are in all yellow car daro pacing on the edge of his D where was are playing from right to left an open stand in the distance an open stand behind uh Milam mavic's goal as well it's only a 5,000 so stadium and Wales are underway the second game for Craig Bellamy a change of personnel too and daro hits it it's hit long up to keam Mo wearing the head bandage that he finished the game has a substitute against turkey on Friday and Wales immediately win a throw in down that right hand side which Connor Roberts will take into Mo in the penalty area touches it back on that far side Willams helps her at the Conor Roberts Nik Williams on the far side chance here for more and he scored ke for Mo ball fell invitingly to him in the Penalty Box and Wales have scored in the first 40 seconds Kea Mo gets the first goal in the Bellamy era and if there are any NES they're settled now as the big man strikes it's Montenegro gr nil Wales W perfect start Rob absolutely brilliant you hoping when the ball goes forward in these kind of conditions you know you get some ricochets and a bit of nervousness in the Box it's exactly what happened montegro couldn't clear their lines at all they had a few attempts of it a few swings and in the end it just breaks kindly for Kea Mo who's really sharp and just finishes it with a great right foot side foot in off the post perfect start yeah he just reacts quicker in the Box doesn't he all the defend it just stood still not reacting at all and great reactions from war can I change my 1 nil prediction please that was a great start for Wales and uh let's hope we get a few more tonight well we talked about the oldest devant that is going to be one of the quickest ever Wales goals after just 40 seconds oh an newly yellow card for all for Ethan ampadu oh that's not good no that is a bit of a worry that's within the first two minutes and ke Mo gets his 13th goal for his country and U was uh booked for holding back ytic so it's 1- nil Wales on BBC Radio Wales and the BAM era is definitely underway now as niik Williams pushes forward down that right hand side again and a followup for Wilson Oh What a goal oh Harry Wilson drills it from 25 yds and in 2 and 1 half minutes Wheels a two up in Montenegro Wilson with a thunderous Drive absolutely a brilliant finish we're not expecting him to take the shot on but you're thinking well why not in these conditions it's really and truly it's a real awkward one cuz it should be on his right foot he's taking it with but he doesn't he got such a sweet left foot he just drills it from about 25 yards and he leaves the keep with absolutely no chance fantastic finish to be honest Nate it looks like he with the outside of his that's what I'm saying it looks like he was probably more set up hit it with his right on his very straight on Jane and in the end he slices across the ball and that is a worldly finish yeah that's a Fab finish he pinched me someone because we're two L up it's not even 3 minutes into the game it is a astonishing and turkey are leading Iceland 1 nil they took two minutes to score and I'm intrigued Nathan and Jane that niik Williams appears to be lining up on the right hand side he was on the ball again a fair play to Wilson he's not only scored he helped set up the KE for more goal by barging through on the edge of the penalty area but to be honest Rob we haven't really seen organization on positions yet it's just been it's transitional so far but we're reacting far quicker than than the monans thankfully and we're getting some great chances well Wales before this game had gone four games without a goal first time since 2012 it would actually with their extra time against Poland it worked out at 6 hours and 4 minutes addon 40 seconds 6 hours 4 minutes and 40 seconds without a goal and then Wales get two in about a minute and a half extraordinary could ask for a better start could you you know all that's gone on like we spoke about before the game Craig Bellamy control the controllables right just focus on what you can control and it seems that's exactly what him and his team have done come out of the traps really quickly a nice snapshot by ke Moore like Jane said nice and sharp first to the ball first to react as all good Strikers are in the box and then we've seen an absolute worldy from Harry Wilson it must be said well I have to say in the last year has been as good as any Wales player I would suggest I think he's been terrific scored two against Croatian of course in that I think the beauty of him he gives you options Rob because he can play in several positions he can play wide off the left wide off the right he can play Central midfielder he can play as a 10 he can play as a false nine so he's a he's a manager's [Music] dream so how do Montenegro cope with that rusic is trying to make his way down the right hand side yeah often what happens in these games Rob is that the longer it goes the more difficult it becomes because you know you're going to be under some pressure back at home or from uh from the media to say you know they're lesser than you they're ranked 73 in the world you should be you know beating teams like this so the hardest thing to do is get off the mark and get a goal but to get yourself two goals in 2 minutes is uh is a great start so so if you're on the side Jade Ledo former worlds manager did you say well calm it down now Lads let's keep it tight for a couple no you say keep going keep staying in their faces every transition moment get that ball and go after the goal and look the personality of the boss is going to be very much similar I would have thought it's not going to be a case of sit back there's more gold year for us tonight for those who worry about his G he's got he's all in black with white trainers which are going to take some test in tonight right first test for car Doo from a mon negro Corner headed out by the second world's goal scorer Harry Wilson played back in looks like an offside and well shouted Nathan Blake you can go on the V I can't help it Rob I'm just it's being engaged in the game Sorry mate no I'm used to that it's okay remember any other way Nathan Blake and Jane lle either side of me I don't know who I'd rather be kicked by actually I saw he definitely me come on know you were a tank when you played Jane Ledo unless in the nicest possible way I don't tackle wrong although you probably say me because I tackled not to get hurt so yeah I never tackled fairly okay well we will have a competition over it you're not going to fight over it don't worry well let's tackle you in the corridors outside should we see what Happ tack a cook inner as you well know 2-nil Wales 7 and A2 minutes gone in nixit which is about 30 mi from pod lovely city actually poda as uh there's a break here on down this right hand side mcosu plays his football in career and it's drilled wide and that was christovich who plays his footb leche in Italy just SC Rob it's an absolutely worldy pass or cross into the box it's a Striker's dream early ball into the box behind the defender and look the Conor robs doesn't even attempt to play the ball usually you see them stretching he knew he was done all ends up but he's got to come onto that and hit the target at least he's got to make the keep and make a save that's a great opportunity missed was he was uh as you say it was laid on a plate for him wasn't it by uh the Run of mugosa well it's bounced and it's bounced at a nice height for you as you're coming onto the ball didn't have to change his stride lovely side foot if anything he's probably probably tried to be too precise with that it's gone for the far corner and uh I would say as long as you hit the target the idea always is get it past the keeper don't worry about the corners worry about getting it past the keeper 2-nil Wales Alo seeing some of the ball now L kumas back helping out his Defenders Craig Bellamy almost looks as if he wants to get involved but he stays off the pitch ball is uh just on the into the 10 yds from the worlds penalty area played forward Wilson was taken out no foul say the referee was right there it's brought forward again and uh a misplaced pass looking for kamaj and then kamaj goes in strongly a yellow card I'm not surprised if he doesn't get a yellow for that late it's on Ben Davis the world's Captain kamaj apologizes to the referee he takes the apology no yellow card bit Danger address the way the ball is starting to hold up on the pitch Rob that is a concern and uh you know you can see the pitch is cutting up dreadfully but I just noticed that the ball wasn't rolling as free just a moment or two ago and with the rain that's coming down last thing you want is this game being abandoned it is emptying down ke Mo's goal has been timed at 37 seconds I thought you were pushing it when he said 40 well I had to look down at my had to look down at my clock didn't I it wasn't that it's a dodgy information from our uh produc there was that I thought it was about 40 I never criticize radio Rod 2-n Wales on BBC Radio Wells do not adjust your sets because we've only played 10 minutes ke Mo scored after 37 seconds and Harry Wilson's gotor an absolute stunner after about 2 minutes and 20 seconds I might be a few seconds out on the second one and Monro put a chance wide as well so it's all happening as the rain falls in nikit as ytic plays the ball back on the near side this is rubic then into the Midfield helped across by Z zovich burst down the left hand side [Applause] by vvi and it goes up for a goal kick let's hope Wales dominate the ball well organizationally they're a bit different to what we were expecting cuz I think we we were expecting them to step on the pitch with the back three that kind of goes into a back five today but it's not a back four and he's pushed Williams into Midfield on the right hand side so so a little bit different to what we were expecting yeah oh ball given away on the edge of the wheels penalty ytic has it left on side of the Box Conor Roberts gets goal side and chipped in headed Away by Chris mapam like always say it when you try and play out from the back you live by the sword but you can perish by it as well but it's the way isn't it it's the modern way yeah it's just one of those things you have to accept Rob wasn't about clearance by Movic but it was uh ran away from marusic and it's 2-n yeah Jovovich plays his football in usbekistan with scona jaak and mugosa plays for ichon United in Korea so they travel far and wide and in fact last season mosa played in the J League [Applause] Kea Mo well he's got a goal he's a champion United and he's now on 13 for Wales since his uh debut against bellarus in 2019 he's been a real Boon to Wales he may have a a red bandage on he seems to end up with every game with the red bandage but didn't affect his Sharp Shooting there aadu lazily flips the ball out to kumas on this left hand side not too much seen of Lewis kumas yet rhen in Midfield swaps places with passes with Connor Roberts meam steps over halfway Wilson the other whs goal scorer step short and Davis the captain has it out to kumas on this left side again kumas holds it up back to Davis midw inside the montenegrin half and then a slip ball from AMU give it away oh it's hit the bar from ytic and just inside his own half it takes some special player to do thato carallo wasn't much he could have done about that what an effort all absolute brilliant effort great vision from jtic you know as soon as he struck it you thought that's got a that's got a real chance and Only By The Grace it's hit the crossb and gone over but you know car Dar was getting nowhere near it but it just goes to show you give that ball away Midfield and this team can cause you a problem here's Wilson goes the ground ball is Carri on by Cooper He's brought down as well and the referee has given a second free kick which is closer uh Milos brunovich brought down Ole Cooper that was cynical as well that was Rob I'm surprised he's not given a red card for that cuz he was never never getting the [Music] [Applause] ball it's called a professional foul yeah it's the kind of tackle Jane would have done on me back in the day I'd have had you before then I wouldn't have waited till the edge of the box that was a stunning effort Jane from your over I thought he was in to be honest I was silent I thought he was in but it did it again we moving uh Roberts into Midfield when we're building up play and and it always it worries me a little bit with regards to defensive back behind because obviously you're pushing your right back into Center Midfield to play alongside ampadu when we're building up and I was just looking at actually what a Montenegro leaving against that and at times they've got to forward sitting behind that Midfield so it's potentially a threat I I think it comes from Craig's uh Burnley days to be honest with you Jane it's very much how they played they would get their inverted fullbacks into a Midfield position and almost create like a box for with the two Center halfes great in possession one further up W this free kick is two yards outside the Montenegro penalty area left of the D Nik Williams and Harry Wilson are going to take it Williams touches it for Wilson and he hits that well wide of mavic's right hand post yeah getting higher as well it's one of them rob you just I be say just hit the target try and bounce it before him if anything right skid it off the ground don't worry about too much power just hit the target and then everyone following on the keeper ball is a Dar no you can't take your eyes off this you have to say it's been uh riveting stuff so far if this is the Craig balam era wow edge of your seats Stu it is Edge of the seat stuff yeah well he always played on the edge didn't he he did he did he's very much uh mate to a certain extent but you know you love him or you don't love him to a certain extent but I think I'd love to say in 5 years time every Welsh fan loves him because we' been succcessful yeah so see all of us but Montenegro not giving this one up and daros to uh just Shuffle across on his knees to collect a low drive from Jovovich from well outside the penalty era thepakistani based player who won two monegan TI titles uh with sesa who play on this ground so he's well used to it slip by Ole Cooper then but keep him more takes control sprays the ball out to the right hand side Roberts who loves getting forward in pink and yellow boots tonight don't they'll be pink by the end of the night with this pitch but it looks like it's stopped raining temporarily at least Cooper slipped again and he's given the ball away uh Montenegro are not unused to flying people forward ytic teely plays the ball for just skids off the Turf and too strong for brunovich 2-nil Wales after just 17 and A2 minutes I'm alongside Nathan Blake and Jane ller just seeing looking at oy Cooper there I be getting a longer blade in my boot a couple of rugby studs from back in the day I'm saying blades come out right at the end of my career but getting the six studs and getting the longer stud in the boot pitch is cutting up mly Cooper is Slip Sliding a bit foot race with Le [Applause] but uh marusic one out on that but Welles have got a throw in which Davis wants to take quickly that's what you notice most they want to do everything really quickly J yeah energy um and love there's obviously a positive Buzz around the place right now and hopefully we can sustain that by getting good results and you know if the score line stays that it is then it'll be a great result [Music] tonight was going back towards darlo who's wearing all black with looks like a a Tren yellow trim clear's right footed wearing number one awward back pass for matovic and his 40th cap and he didn't appreciate that sliced the clearance out for a throwing in wasn't a lot he could do with it o coper again slips over this time with a little nudge from [Music] brunovich and Robert proeski what a player he was by the way 55 now apparently smoked right the way through his career but he had some uh some skill W won the European Cup for the younger listeners that's the 4Runner to the Champions League with uh sty Bucharest in 1991 as uh ampadu slips this time he's on a booking as well and berovic is into the penalty here think about shooting does so recuses back to him second shot bounces off Harry Wilson have for montenegro's second Corner very transitional as a team mon when they when they're pinching or turning the ball over in in the middle of the park it's it's not a case of retain possession it's a case of let's go forwards and let's get as many numbers forward as we can yeah definitely used to that and they almost playing a a counter attack Counterattack style football not used to having possession that much but they do it very well dangerous on the counter Kamas who plays his football with kisvarda in Hungary is going to take this left corner for right footed curs it in half clear by the world's defense and it's a thunderous drive into the uh face of Nico Williams and gets a run of Applause from his teammates he didn't have much option but take that he's okay though oh actually I think it bounced catch him on the side of the head maybe I think it may have taken a bit of it on his shoulder I think it was his shoulder yeah but he's held his head so uh good thinking on his part as Welles Come Away With It with Cooper down the left hand side cut out the ball to lewiis Cooper must then K wins it back he for more takes it 10 yds outside the penalty area and it's going to go up for wales's first Corner they lead him by two goals to nil Kea Moore and Harry Wilson inside the first two and a half minutes was Camas who got across for the corner it's a left-sided corner to is going to be swung in MO is up so is meam so is Ben Davis tonight's Captain he's got two goals as Ben Davis taken short to Wilson on this left hand side Wilson again who's forward niik Williams may try a shot from outside the box didn't really connect picked up and brought away from the penalty air by christovich that's played for forward and Kamas gets there but meam slides in and Ashes the ball out for a throw in midweek through the first half here on BBC Radio Wales Montenegro nil Wales 2 Kea Mo and Harry Wilson ke mo one of the fastest goals in Wales football history just 37 seconds is that a quicker one Rob I you know you've tested me and I'm and apparently even the a w don't know well if they don't know mind you I won't let any secrets out I don't embarrass anybody they got Ben Davis's caps wrong on the initial Squad uh announcement he a 51 what Ben Davis no no he's on 8 88 now with this one for behind Neville souo as I said earlier jtic little such a little pirouette then on the edge of the box but the ball got away from him and it's hoof clear by mapam for a Wales throw inside the Montenegro half calm down a bit now Jane it has but you know just watching the last 10 minutes of this game the pitch is going to be the decider tonight for and which team deals with their best there's so many of the players right now on on a receive moment they're slipping they falling everywhere um but and it's but it's happening to both sets of players yeah hopefully there there won't be moments in around the box it's about getting your distances right on that sort of pitch isn't it Jane and then making sure you don't go to the ground unless it's absolutely necessary yeah it's cutting up something awful right now you don't think there's any danger to the game though well if the rain continues or you have a really heavy downpour also saying is the ball isn't rolling as freely it's not zipping is it that's typical Welsh luck at it get two n up and then the game's called off I mean you know saying before the game you know you serve us well because the the ball's going to be so Zippy but it's not it's it's not rolling as quickly as it [Applause] was well it's 2-n enjoy it while we can it's been if they win this one it'll be an impressive start to cig Bellow's rain we wonder where the goals were on Friday but uh two arrived in two and 1/2 minutes in the next game good head of forward as well by Davis Brooks to breaks to LS kumas who uh was ready to pull the trigger inside the box but rubic the abedine base player the center back got back to drill that up for wells's second corner I was going to say why isn't he offside and now I see why the Defenders playing them on playing them both on if that had been a goal I would have I would think you as a center back Jane you would tear shreds off him wouldn't you the right back was about 25 yards behind the rest of his back wson with the corner from the left hand side outswinger left footed it was aimed forwards towards Ben Davis who flew at it but it just evaded him picked up on the far side by Connor robis takes the throw into Lewis kumas but it's dealt with by cpit one of the two players in the side who play at cagina in the uh saunda League the second league in Spain [Applause] Katana well is spell c a r t e n g a no c a r t a g e n a okay I spelling T I think it's Kat near meria Rob no I think Kat different one is it oh yeah I think so he's actually on loan from 10 that's easier I've been there I'll do turn rep but is [Applause] um play well you know and the other player from the club in Spain some sometimes known as Kina is on loan from Mexican club FC Warez apparently his kataha this is the same man who said Keep M yeah 4 second so listen to anyway 2N Wales and they're on the break again right hand side NCO Williams plowing forward he's got LS kumas making a run in the middle I think he tried to pick up Ole Cooper he did it was clever but it was cut out before it got there that's now with Wilson on that far touch line uls he's got Hodo available goes back though to meam meam in the coopa touch for ampadu ampadu of lead United good ball from rhen into Roberts now more oh and he almost got Harry Wilson away it's good stuff Jan redo yeah the last few minutes they've tried to control the tempo of the game a little bit more it has slowed but not necessarily A Bad Thing from a Welsh perspective they're just trying to get the ball the foot on the ball and just control it the monagon fans have not given up they are in good voice [Applause] and they're on the ball now what this near side marusic leaves it to kamaj kamaj floats in across too strong for everybody will he be kept in on the far side it is by christovich christovich kols it back into the box but that's easily played Away by ampadu and ball forward looking for for more he was [Applause] stumbling and he missed out on getting the [Applause] ball there's definitely more goals in this game for Wales Monro are just really well I suppose they're going to go for it now well They're Taking Chances yeah because they have to what you don't want is them getting back in the game because you know it'll become a really difficult task because the crowd will go up no doubt and uh the players's confidence will grow very quickly K that time by kamaj and then fled across the Box by mugosa picked up on the far side oh it may be a chance here great save darlo and then off the line from Ben Davis but darlo denite ytic they are not out of this game moneger you have to say they're really giving it a go and they are threatening the Wales goal that was a a double Escape really got the crowd bouncing literally in that pass absolutely I have to say the conditions are really playing dividend for for monegro more than Wales you'd say Wales want to keep the ball and knock it around but as you can see by those pictures that ring just has not stopped I think was a great save with daro cuz sure takes deflection here did and then it was a double save by daro and that equally by Davis and then off the line from kage by Ben Davis that's a great dou say from darlo I'll give him a lot of confidence Montenegro Corner left hand side ni Williams heads it up from the edge of the penalty area Lis kumas picked it up and he's Shrugged off his man he's got Wilson up ahead of him slides through the ball to Wilson lovely turn by Wilson the play niik Williams into the penalty air first touch was a bit strong sliding challenge took it away from Nik Williams by vukovich just needed to come onto that and just pass it Rob it's like trying to hit someone over 25 30 yards just pass that use a bit of height just bend it keep the so far off his line yeah he looks to receiveing he was really tentative wasn't it it was like a decision making am I Tak it on my right am I take it on my left and then ends up being a a heavy touch yeah and I think the the shape of it once he takes a touch cuz it's not going in front of him it's going across him it's always going to be favorable for the defender a great move by Wales Wilson corner from the left 31 and a half minutes on the clock Wilson takes it left footed headed down and cleared away only as far as Wilson who's uh headed back to the halfway line Roberts picks out Cooper on the left touch line mid inside the Montenegro half whees playing from right to left all in yellow Montenegro flags flying in the f stand plenty of those rain proof jackets on ponchos that's what they call them ponchos I should have had one for Shanaya Twain coner at the CH still race course got absolutely drenched it wasn't a I don't know the Shen what you doing on the Shen C anyway well you know why not CES too that was a good rock in M actually it was good but I should have had a poncho Roberts takes a touch going back towards his own penalty gets it back to Doo takes a touch to his right helps it out towards Ben Davis Davis clears on the edge of the Box flicked on by Mo couldn't control ahead out from montra throw in down the right down side don't like don't like sh NJ actually been there you could have let me for some reason I didn't expect that to come up to your in the sense of that was that's the concert you choose well any be two nil Wales and Montenegro have an uphill task you do feel we keep saying it you do feel there there are more goals in this and if Wales play their cards right they can get a couple more as the ball goes into their box off a deflection M darlo his handling has been pretty good so far in the rain you have to say yeah it's clever though from Montenegro because they're wasting no time and getting that ball in the Box it's almost like first time first touch or one touch and then you know feed it in and fairness really good balls as well that was not great but the intention was really good car darlo lead United he's very much their second keeper to meslier but he's the grandson of 1958 World Cup squad member Ken leak and that's how he qualifies for Wales turned down their overtures a couple of times under Ryan gats or mon but Craig bam said he had no problem didn't have to persuade him made the call and he was up for [Music] it always help when you been to a euros and a World Cup Rob probably does always helps probably does I'm not sure you say no to Craig bamy either but there we go I wouldn't [Applause] right Robert ER reliably in formed scored after 43 seconds against Scotland in 2004 so Kea Mo beats that and he's trying again but this time it flies off his right boot Wilson he's just got to give that to Harry Wilson he can have a player onew really sharp or just literally follow the pass in into Harry and if he gets intercepted or gets tackled you're there to pick up the second ball but he really and truly should have fed that into his teammate that was the better option Italy have just gone one up against Israel plenty of other games around Europe tonight in this Nations League this is uh B4 group turkey still won up the Iceland as uh Wilson is sandwiched it's been really Lively Harry Wilson tonight yeah Monro starting to get that press wrong as well Well's getting out far too easily now there's a lot of space on the pitch when we're building right now a lot of um space between the backline and midfield for [Applause] montro then is a pretty s Challenge from ytic as well he was booked in the 2-n defeat in Iceland uh the other players who were booked are not involved actually I say turky won up against Iceland Iceland have just equalized so it's 1-1 huglu put turkey ahead and palson has equalized 8 minutes before half time great for us that stays like that and this stays like this Davis now fires It Forward looking for keeper more but uh too strong well Montenegro won their last two official home games they were aiming for three in a row although those two home games were played in Turkey but they do count as home games there a lot to do here as Wales lead 2-n marusic into the penalty area almost uh broke to kamja brought Away by Davis up to Mo Wes have got men fre on the right down side Cooper tries to go himself goes the ground no foul says the referee he's got to pass it yeah he's got an option to his left or two to his right Harry Wilson is in acres again it's not necessarily the type of pitch now to be dribbling the ball and he's that type of player right Jane he likes to carry the ball and run with the ball but Common Sense Common Sense got to tell him right just get it give [Applause] it right it's not the uh it's not the fastest Welles goalkeeper Mo's on the ball now it was an own goal Wales aaban in March 2003 after 15 seconds I mean how do you do that how' you get that information while playing you're a genius R an absolute genius no radio Rod is a genius and he's so confident that we're doing a good job he's looking up all that great run down the left hand side CH ytic hits Ben Davis hedo was going towards [Music] goal I don't think he can give that ball for that Davis's Hands by his side I think we might have shed it though if it was at the other end Davis has the clear gets into a bit of a tangle and now he's headed on to him for me yeah ytic is uh just saying to the referee are you going to have a look at v he's made his mind up I think yeah I think he has ytic header ooh ooh it's a warning for us cuz that's a freead just around the six yard box and it o does it touch his arm does hit his arm it does hit his arm but I don't think his arm is out yich crosses in the Box again and that time it's a header over the top from mugosa uh sorry christovich they're winning the first Contact from the areial balls uh more often than not Montenegro so it is something we need to tighten up on for the rest of this game that rain is unbelievable huh yeah it's uh Montenegro is called the Black Mountain that's what it means Montenegro it's uh if you don't know where is it's surrounded by Albania kosova Serbia Bosna hinia and on the other side is the Adriatic Sea and they got 17 beaches apparently in quite a short space which I suspect plenty of the world's fans have been to because apparently the weather was really good yesterday but it's emptied down there today [Music] 2N Wells lead it's not quite a beach out there but it's uh there's plenty of water around and ytic a straight pass I mean he's 34 but he still looks as if he's got a bit of him doesn't he yeah I actually thought the striker should have made a move there for me if he slips over no problem but I think that was a great ball ytic he pulls into the pockets well his timeing in movement's great he always looks like he's got time on the receive so physically he might be going a little bit downhill with the AG is but he can still uh he can still control this game for Montenegro in possession right now and that for the first time since I've been I can't remember this happening when I've been commenting him before he's been picked for his country he's actually a free agent I can't remember too many times where I've sort of uh done a team sheet and there's no Club he's just a free agent just just uh seeing the goals again ke Mo counts on good work by Harry Wilson and then two minutes later Harry Wilson hit the belter which just eluded the diving so straight that's that's where he has to hit him with the outside of his left foot ball spinning that way can you it's a brilliant goal Harry Wilson doesn't score tappins as far as I can see yeah he has a good catalog of goals fair play to him that was a peach that was number nine he's substitution here Rob I think someone's going off injured Brenan Johnson is coming on I thought I saw Conor Roberts holding his arm sure durly will hope there nothing to un toward yeah they go to a back four and Johnson will go on the right probably so Roberts's game is over after 43 minutes um Brennan Johnson substitution BS Player number 14 by player number 11 Bron Johnson here you go so we'll see where Brandon Johnson ends up kumas is on the left Johnson is on that right hand side his 29th cap for Wales he's got three goals which for a player of his quality Jane you'd like to think he can improve on that yeah we we'd hope that he could as well he has the ability to it's just get in the right uh place at the right time break down the right hand side cross into the box again great defending really good defending Away by headed Away by Nico Williams and then Mo helps it on to Wilson who sends kumas on the left hand side kumas shows enough strength to hold on to the ball it was actually decent defended by mic and then it's a pretty cynical foul by brunovich yeah brunovich claiming he got the ball which he did after he took out the man on kumas soam Wales finished the half as they started it we're into the last 2 minutes we're into the last minute now and they were already goal up in the first minute that aggressive that referee isn't he seen him a few times now I'm want to pop with players I'm want to pop with Harry Wilson he's got a skin cut and he and he's like giving him the glare as well he looks hard doesn't he look he's still going on does [Applause] yeah he's uh pretty well built as well [Applause] [Music] Wilson with a free kick 11 yds from the right corner of the penalty area cools it into the middle headed out by mugosa those a battling for it ampadu decides to go back to his leads clubmate darlo who's had a sound start as in his Wales career his belated Wales career is fair to say s passes with another leads Club mate rhen UPS out to Ben Davis the captain there's one minute of added time to play flights it out to Brandon Johnson first touch of him on that right hand side get support from Williams Williams tries to play inside the fullback for Johnson clear the way left footed by Movic bouncing awkwardly for Williams and christovich just got his body in the between man and ball and the free kick is taken quickly this is kage left footed shot cool it tried to cool it inside the far post I think Dal had it covered and it went hand away Rob did dive into his right hand SED and he pulls his right arm away from it not full by any means the stadium holds just over 5,000 and that is the halime whistle well what a start from Wales they were two up inside the first 2 and 1 half minutes Kei for more after just 37 seconds and to give wals a brilliant start then Harry Wilson with a hinger just a minute or so later and there's been chances either for either side since then Wills have lost Conor Roberts they' got more attacking strength on in Brennan Johnson it's uh slipping and sliding out there but Wales have got the advantage and at halim Craig Bellamy is within sight of his first win as Wales manager it's Montenegro nil Wales 2 for your Welsh football fix get everything you need to know in handy podcast form you know fast football get over it from car Roberts uan Roberts and new signing whale Striker Sam vs the scorer of one of the most iconic goals in Welsh football history like I should be sat here with a scarf behind my head yeah announce VES Beast of football 22 years old now Ruben cell Errol bullet says he's probably stopped growing now 7 foot though Feast of football listen on BBC sounds well they're certainly going to enjoy reviewing this game on the podcast aren't they uh singing in the rain in Montenegro then the Wales fans uh after that goal after just 37 seconds and our army of researchers getting to work straight away and uh trying to find you know the previous fastest goal and we think as Rob was saying guys in commentary it was 20 years ago when Wales be aaban 4-0 15 seconds an own goal off a Craig Bellamy shots in March 2003 that was in H 2004 qualifier but um yeah plenty more of those to go through in terms of fast goals but overall how are we feeling because you know even though it is Wales leading by two goals to do you feel comfortable because I don't know they're having chances mon gr they're kind of neutralizing impact of the range a I I feel I feel comfortable yeah I I think uh I think it's actually doing them a favor the fact that the pitch is so slippery I think on a on a drier pitch I think Wales are probably three or four goal for the good by now to be honest with you and a lot more possession I think the fact that people are slipping over and uh the pitch is so heavy I think it's it's doing them a favor more than more than ourselves so uh it a brilliant start after after what 40 seconds or 37 seconds to be precise and then the second goal after 2 minutes you know it's it's a start you you couldn't have dreamt of if you Craig Bellamy but um yeah there are going to be opportunities you know Montenegro put the ball in the Box very early and I've had one or two opportunities should have scored uh early on with the first major cross into the box have hit the crossbar with a a great 50 yard effort but that aside you'd say Welles have been able to control the play but not as much as they'd like and uh I think it's due to the conditions if I'm tot be honest well they haven't Jay they haven't dominated in quite the same way as they did on Friday in terms of possession 55% in the first half no but it's it is comfortable I think when you look at the stats there Montenegro actually created 30 chances to our five but but both teams are two On Target so it kind of gives you another you know um impression of the game there we we started extremely well we could do better in possession but like we've said the pitch is a challenge today so it's a case of picking and choosing when when how risky you want to be in possession to a certain extent and what we're seeing from Montenegro is as soon as they turn the ball over they're going to come after us so it is a Counterattack game that we have to deal with right now haven't caused us too many problems with that and it could be sometimes partly due to the pitch partly due to decision making of the players on the pitch but no I similar as Nathan I feel pretty comfortable right now as a Wales fan you go back to about 1999 in terms of trying to find the fastest Wales goal ever at Robert eraw 43 seconds beating Scotland 4-0 in 2004 Gareth Bale scored after 2 minutes in a 6-0 win against China should we go on or you know we'll just drop this in we'll just drop it in as we go let's just M over that Harry Wilson strike cuz it's absolutely wonderful I have to say the ball straight at him the pass back from Nik will Nik Williams which is he's under pressure he has a poor touch rages to rescue the ball back to Harry Wilson the ball is right in the middle of his stand so he's got to adjust his feet and he comes around the ball left footed outside of the foot with a bit of ping as well and uh yeah it's just he he knew it was in before before it uh it had traveled like five yards if you look at his reaction he knows he catches is that so sweet and he knows it's dipping well then he knows it's a brilliant strike it is a fantastic he catches it well but you see the big splash of water as he hits it uh the question the big question is is this game going to see out see out to the 90 are we going to actually have an abandonment I mean let's go to Mark poer our pitch reporter who's out there um Mark they are treating the pitch at the moment aren't they uh they're treating it Ian but they're treating it with their feet they've uh half a dozen Grand stuff in high viz jackets they're walking around to try and replace the divots but all they're doing is jumping up and down on top of them so they haven't got any pitch Forks or anything to sort of help drain the pitch of water um they've done one half of the field they're now to the half where Wales were defending in this first half uh and the monegan substitutes are warming up on the other side and they're still splashing about as well the rain is continuing to fall harder than ever so I don't think the conditions are going to improve anytime soon just stumping up and down on the puddles thank you very much Mark it's not as it is still raining there so we shall see hopefully have the full second half here on BBC Radio Welles um right we'll uh talk more shortly then and uh we'll go through those goals again no doubt let's get the latest BBC Radio Welles news now before that and the travel in the weather from Lin Morgan this is Radio Wales on BBC sounds or on your smart speaker play BBC

Glamorgan hospital near tant during the crisis the worst thing for me and still when I remember it was families not being allowed into the hospital and not being allowed in to see their loved ones

for Wales fans in Montenegro we are halfway through crate bellam is second game in charge and the new boss and the 700 red wallers present jumping for joy in the rain thanks to a lightning fast start Williams UPS the Conor Roberts ni Williams on the far side chance here for more and he's scored ke for Mo ball fell invitingly to him in the Penalty Box and Wales have scored in the first 40 seconds ke for Mo gets the first goal in the Bellamy era n Williams pushes forward down that right hand side again and a follow for Wilson Oh What a goal Harry Wilson drills it from 25 yds and in 2 and 1/2 minutes Wales are two up in Montenegro this is BBC Radio Wales Sport with Ian hunt yeah fantastic night so far for Bellamy and the Welsh tourists Montenegro nil Wales to in nikich a goal as you heard there after 37 seconds from Kea Moore and then another another one from Harry Wilson stunning strike in the rain less than two minutes later but the fear is that the game may not survive if the rain keeps on falling as it is it is still soaking there in Montenegro and as we heard before the news there from Mar poer um whose pitch side for us they well basically just Tred to the ground staff just Tred to stamp the the puddles down with their own feet so we shall see whether the game does survive we'll talk more with Nathan Blake and Jane Ludo in a moment about what they expect maybe in the second half given the conditions um but just a little bit of other news for you first Wes Burn's not involved in the Wales Squad uh due to a hamstring injury um but news today that he signed a new two-year deal with ipswitch not a great start for O Morgan the first day of their County championship game at Sussex Morgan bowled out for just 186 and in reply the division 2 leaders 121 for one at the close Sri Lanka beating England by eight wickets in the third and final test of the oval so England winning the series uh 21 uh in rugby Saron have signed Wales second row Natalia John and after his tour of Britain win Welsh cyclist Stevie Williams is targeting further success to round off his best season to date uh read more about that on the BBC sport website and that's the place where you can keep right up to date minute by minute with what's going on out there in Montenegro at Wales leading by two goals to nil um and Jane low and Nathan Blake I mean it's uh two things going on in our head at the moment isn't it it's just how good Wales have been in the conditions and how quick that goal was but also the fear about what may happen if the rain doesn't stop what are you thinking if you're a coach or or you're a player and you're sliding about all over the place again control what you can control uh you can't do anything about the weather but you know if you're Montenegro like Mark PO is saying like they didn't come out with pitch folks or anything like that it's a bit of a surprise when you think about if you're 2-n down you're not going to be doing everything you can to to continue the game right a bit of dark arts there so uh hopefully fingers crossed they can get to the 90 minutes or at least 80 odd minutes cuz I don't think the referee would stop it then unless it was absolutely you know couldn't play uh so fingers crossed the rain oh is still coming down pretty heavily but the pitch can hold up so we're saying in a sense it plays into montenegro's hands if the game is called on is that what we're saying they wouldn't mind yeah they wouldn't mind we would right now two nil up but but we were just watching halim the substitutes warming up and the ball is not running very well at all it's it's holding up something awful on that pitch now so it is a slightly different game to to the start of the um the game when they come out for the second half it's who deals with the pitch the best really um we're probably going to expect to see Montenegro being very transitional again so soon as they turn the ball over they're going to threaten our backline and go to goal as quick as they can they've had a lot lot of opportunities in around the box but thankfully for us not on target but we've had some moments where you know I'm sure Craig and his coaching staff are going to be reflecting on those opportunities in and around the box and they want to tighten up defensively because it's it's not good when your opponents are managing to get in the Box yeah I mean that's interesting you said about it you know it could be a transitional kind of thing he said actually Bellamy before the game in his interview if it turns into a transition game it's not in our favor we need to be disciplined and keep controlling the Counterattack yeah and then the weather's not helping you so these are this is what I'm on about you can you can have all the good intentions in the world but tonight the weather's playing a huge power in how you could perform you know I think technically Wales are far more gifted than the monegan so I'd expect Wales to try and control the game but they're not going to be able to control it to to the levels that they would normally on a dri pitch don't know if you remember just quickly Kath Morgan apparently James scored after 17 seconds in 1996 against Scotland held the record for 20 years she's going to hate me if I can't remember that and you a roommate in your J wow I'm so sorry CS still in the dressing you missed it maybe it was when I wasn't at actually maybe I didn't play can have that chat later on right why does it always rain on me what was that Travis song years ago but Craig Bellamy doesn't mind at the moment it rained in cariff on Friday it's been pouring in Montenegro the Wales are two up here we go Jane Nathan and Phillips thanks very much well the game is still on at the moment we're underway no changes at the start of that second half of though Wales have lost Connor Roberts replaced by Brennan Johnson just before the interval we'll get news on that of course after the game and uh for all the updates you want to be on the BBC sport Wales page tomor or later tonight St fund yeah fireworks fireworks yeah see be the main there you go as the red and yellow uh strike flag comes out on the far side and niik Williams has to clear from his own penalty area ytic who's the big danger their best player and one of their best players of all time monegro has got the ball on the right hand side he's got two to a on the box he CLS ah head of Ethan ampadu where's all in yow with the green sashes and Montenegro playing in their usual all red and gold flashes then from right to [Applause] left and there is a change for Wales actually it's uh sber Thomas's on Johnson who's come back off well that is an odd one if that's the case cuz Brandon Johnson only went on 2 minutes first S have a look uh metham rhen and U are right out there Wilson is still there Cooper is still there as well as have to defend again Davis the Brenan on the left that's Brennan on the left so maybe lisis kumas has gone off I think yeah looks like LS kumas has been replaced by sber Thomas just got confirmation of that sober Thomas who had a wow of a game against turkey his first uh Wales appearance for a year his first start for two years as monegro testing Wales again this time Ben Davis equal to it again made one brilliant goal line clearance in that first half [Applause] well they got nothing to lose as we've been saying berovic brings in cic on halfway berovic again head Banner on his uh keep the hair in check ball out to the right on sight again there are a couple of players in the Box for Montenegro it's not the best cross but it will be picked up by vukovich on the left hand side we number two back to Cit CIT it's picked up once more and they tried to feed it out it was y ytic tried to feed it out to vukovich but Wes can come away with it through niik Williams does he win the throw benovic doesn't think so oh then benovic goes down touching his head Nik Williams gets a yellow card can't believe that that's quite harsh to be fair he's only he's moving the ball out of the way so he can take the throw quicker well it's his first yellow in that uh he wasn't one of the world's players on a yellow from the turkey [Applause] game a lively start already Nathan Blake I think bovich has picked up a yellow card as well yeah I'm just again Rob just looking at the range is coming down in sheets there it's it's it hasn't stopped no it hasn't stopped but nonstop the refle notice yeah hopefully just look at the waters amount of waters coming up off the pitch now oh wow well bovic was clutching his eye and all niik Williams did was spin him around with his s on his chest as Johnson chases in vain for ball down the left hand side elsewhere in the group it's turkey 1 Iceland one akar Ugo put turkey ahead palson equalized and uh at the moment Iceland top the group with four points alongside Wales and turkey have two Montenegro yet to get a point and in facing an uphill task to get one here as bovich is uh captain checked by sber Thomas on as a substitute ball out way to vukovich again up against niik Williams heads the by line caught Williams after he' stabbed in the foot to knock it off for a corner it is a corner to Monro they first of this second half it's actually a free kick isn't it it does look like to be fair oh he whacks him in his left shin that hurts there's not much know there's not much rolling around there and you know false play that's a proper kick Chris mam has got what chain on his chain Sean Connelly the miracle work in the world's medical staff has been for a while man who got Joe ladley fit in 2016 Against All Odds and that worked out these are the moments that are frustrating when a player has to leave the pitch for those things yeah so where is it down to 10 men now as they defend this left-sided Corner 51 minutes on the clock and the Corner's taken short and it's a a low drive from vukovich it wasn't brilliant and amadu led the counter attack and sober Thomas is hairing forward was abue taken out no well no not for me he should have been looking and he he was looking to go right and there was no one there he should have just gone to saber Thomas on his left hand side or at least traveled in that direction I thought jovic might have taken him out then but no he lost control of the ball Robie put it too far ahead of him one of your touches you never saw me play for ppri by MCA did you no I just hear yeah well my coach is the former Premier League referee Keith Cooper who you will know Jane I not a player he remembers fondly it's fair to say always moaning what Keith or me no you two nil Welles not moaning about this score as uh there's a burst forward ball out to the left on side christovich of leche floats the ball into the box headed up by Rhoden more plays it back to Rhoden who uh finds Wilson Wilson beats one man but then berovic slides in yeah they they're hurting themselves Wales because Mo's coming too deep he needs to stay up amongst the three or four Defenders so he's a release ball play kills it through and uh shot is stab wide by stepan mosa now um radio Rod he's just brilliant here are the UEFA re regulations if a match cannot start or cannot be played in full the full or remaining match time is is as a rule played on the next day if a match cannot be rescheduled the next day the U Administration fixes a new date during or as close as possible to the international calendar window concerned and as a rule a rescheduled matches played at the same venue if the circumstances require a change of venue the UEFA Administration must approve the alternative venue corner is headed away and in cases of real emergency they can play with Spectators as Montenegro win another Corner well if it's rained off tonight you couldn't really see it being playable tomorrow could you no and if the ref calls it off through this second half the remaining match time must be played caller comes in from the right hand side this time hoisted Away by Ben Davis turkey now 2-1 up against Iceland uh actor's got a second Well's Under Pressure here leading 2-n Nik Williams lets the cross drift past his body out to this right down side and his clearance is hit with sufficient force that vukovich H sorry kage can only knock it out for a throw Jay Ledo thoughts on what you've seen in the opening 10 minutes well the opening 10 minutes the second half is the game the game's only been played in our half right now so it's a little bit concerning there's not they're not creating open chances right now Montenegro but we we've struggled to get a hold of the ball and if we have we've caused ourselves our own problems as Nathan said we're losing the ball too easy right now but as I say this we're in possession backline holding on to the ball just slowing the game down look in a way we're tunel up we could really kill this game by just keeping our foot on the ball right now and maintain the 2-n so it'll be interesting to see what we do can we build a little bit better and and retain the ball with a little bit more movement and obviously good decisions or do we just look to keep the tun 2- n right now Nathan Blake what would you do I think you just you know yeah not not sit but try and maintain possession as much as you can if you get a third goal in the process brilliant just make sure you you keep that you know that back door locked make sure there's no sort of opportunities or if there are there only half opportunities but you keep yourself a clean sheet cuz it's it's them scoring which is going to change this game if anything I don't think uh I don't think the flow of the game is going to change much I don't think the weather is permitting to be honest with you rob no you're right the referee looks happy to carry on if he says yes it's yes as far as I'm concerned he looks like my Eagle ey Action Man from back in the day he's got features that suggest he wouldn't mind the brawl didn't he ytic outside of the boot out to the left hand side cross into the box again rhen gets up this time and maybe keeper Moran he's on a loose pass he's up towards har he's through the center circle now just felt the slightest of touches went to ground and it's a booking for marusic of Lazio [Applause] and you can hear the rain coming down on the microphones here it is a bit disconcerting I will say but so far so good 12 minutes into the second half 2-n Wales Kore after 37 seconds Harry Wilson after just over 2 minutes darlo making his debut the oldest postwar debutant tips her up towards S Thomas that was a push Thomas now plays his football in nons saying how much he's changed had a serious few serious conversations after Huddersfield we relegated Brandon Johnson into the penalty era shot good Save By The Keeper breaks to Thomas Thomas in the penalty era trying to lay it back sets up for niik Williams who drives it well wide that was a chance of Brandon Johnson it was was a great chance good strike but we just see him he drives in off the left hand side put it on his right foot and he gets some power on that strike but unfortunately couldn't react to the rebound could we yeah it's it's the uh it's the opportunity for S Thomas to put the ball back in the box which is probably the most disappointing part of that and N Williams is just he's just cut across the ball too much he's tried to lace it in the middle but he's caught it right on his in step just dragged It Wide but I think sober Thomas could have bit made a bit more of that opportunity long ball forward for christovich the uh Rising Star Montenegro football and then ytic is taken out by Cooper on the edge of the box ytic I think is asking for a yellow card for oie Cooper know he's shown us his uh teeth cuz he thinks there may be a bit of blood coming from there but I can't see any well doesn't he he sees him come in and he just flecks around the corner I think it's his shoulder that catches y in the [Applause] face his dad Kevin would have been proud to that Kevin [Applause] Cooper proud of a tackle cops yeah but those uh big blue boots are stood over the ball or alongside the ball so it is going to be Stan ytic 36 goals for his country chance to make it 37 with a free kick three or four yards outside the wells penalty area to the left of the d three in the wall more Meer and Davis rebounds hits it right footed hits the wall wall did its job then it was low shot actually by ytic who picks up the ball again left side outside of his right boot into the penalty area and that was a poor head of by mosa because it was tamely headed wide when he had time then and OE Cooper is being replaced by Jordan James James Leto well look it's good to see Jordan James come on and impact the game because he's done ever so well in all the opportunities he's had so far I I I guess if you if you come in off the pitch now and you're Cooper you'll be really pleased you go start you go on the pitch you'd be disappointed I guess the last the last bit was that tackle was giv away free kick but know a performance that he can build on definitely well Jordan James has been a real standout player it's only his 13th cap he's already established himself as a main stay in the heart of that Midfield it's now 3-1 to turkey akoglu has got a hattick so turkey will Top the group to tonight Italy are now 2N up in Israel uh Mo Keen has got their second goal France a w up against Belgium that's in uh League a actually the turkey third goal is subject to V check in in league b outside of wells's group it's Norway W Austria won and Slovenia 2 Kazakhstan nil and in League C Kosovo won 40 in for us and Romania in League C are one0 with Lithuania turkey go has been disallowed for offside so they're two- one up rather than 3-1 up what a paor ball seized upon by Harry Wilson Wilson edge of the penalty area and the player who gave him the ball has just W it back off him as he went into the box that was uh rubich I think he uh a a te player I think Harry just lost a bit of concentration there he was thinking to himself I'm in such a good position I'm just going to work onto my left foot and bend it pitch didn't do him no favors at all but he was already thinking what he was going to do before he'd actually done it sober Thomas right side ball in the box from James Wilson turns can't find a way through goes back out to sober Thomas Welles need a bit of this pressure in the second half good ball in and it went Between Two Worlds players Mo was waiting for a heading back in by ampadu cleared away from the left edge of the uh right edge of the monegan penalty area and ytic charges down an attempted Ballfield by Ben Davis 2-nil Wells lead 62 minutes on the clock the rain keeps coming down Craig bmy Unbound no hat wet t-shirt wet coat wet trousers but feeling really warm inside at this Wales performance I'm [Applause] sure I think it's going to be a whales throw high up in it is right side niik Williams will take it few the world Subs warming up on the side Williams takes two steps back Wilson and Thomas are there now he throws it straight to a red shirt AMU follows up though DRS it across the Box more almost got in there just went past him and drifts out for a goal kick yeah I don't think he really he he's he's attacked it but I think he might have got a little nudge from behind which has put him off balance a bit didn't really look like he thought it was going to come to him but landed right on the on the end of his toe really just a reminder wells's next game is a way to Iceland on October the 11th and then home to Montenegro at the Carter City Stadium on October the 14th bovich chips the ball away but it's picked up in Midfield by Jordan James strong Run for the ren player good play great play finds Thomas wide on the right hand side PA cross him Thomas hits the first man touched by ytic gets the ball back again runs into ampadu Wilson scurries in to collect loose possession think he over touches hoping for a foul it wasn't one was having to go all the way back until they print the Midfield but Rhoden gives the ball away and now yic runs at the wels defense clean Away by Davis who's been cool and calm at the back four Wales they've needed it on times I think amu's been brilliant again Rob he's cing in waiting for me excellent player whether he plays defensive or holding Midfield never seems to have a bad game well Montenegro have lost their last three games the last time they lost four on the bounce was uh 2015 2016 sober Thomas runs out of [Applause] room they've been beaten by Belgium Georgia and of course Iceland last Friday Wales have lost twice in Montenegro but they're on course here they're 2N up 65 minutes on the clock switch of play left to right for Montenegro out to marusic then he gives the ball away picked up by Brandon Johnson back helping out his defense ampadu the link fires the ball forward down that left hand inside Jordan James is quick enough to get there holds It Up level with the penalty I know he's driven back a little but finds ambero again ambero ball into Wilson has shot from this range before but sets up more and more turns Ben Davis's crossover from five yards balloons it over the top what a chance what a lovely move it's a great move it's just come too clean for him as a strike I tell he's already thinking I've scored it's come really really quick but you'll be better that M hitting that if you Mish hit it if hit your Cal it rolls in hit your knee it rolls in any part of you rolls in but he's caught it clean with his foot falling backwards and uh yeah that's just a bad Miss in the end Kei for Mo has taken his tally tonight to 13 goals probably should have been 14 Jane yeah probably should have been to be fair but um we'll give him the pitch excuse there you go yeah it's one of them though as a striker you'll never forget that well I said five yards actually was more like three yards wasn't it if that it was even more difficult to ballooner over the top from there yeah yeah he could try that 10 times again and he'd probably score 10 goals well the positive of the last 10 minutes is we'd actually gain control of the ball again commentate this curse yeah Wills Give It Away ah relax relax we got it again and to be fair I think Jordan James does make a difference I think him man ampute building that partnership and getting used to our each other plays is an important one for for us and our team going forward and the connections they build because that that's a really decent sentiment partnership well we've seen it on the raw page right it's where it it it come to fruition and we were expecting under Craig to see the same again but what Craig has done is actually in possession he play Jordan James in an advanced position what I hope is that he can start getting goals because he has brilliant technique really loses the ball when he's in possession even if he's under pressure by two or three players Ray loses the ball he's got a very good shot on him good technique I'd like to see him get a few goals now 2-n yeah he's uh he's for a really good partnership with ampadu Ben Davis is played quietly well tonight as well blocks that Closs cross up for a corner I don't think Ben Davis has ever played below a seven you're right honestly seven8 n or 10 as Ashley Williams be a 12 every game 10 out of 10 for fright I hope he's not listening he will be or I'll be telling him Corner comes in from the right hand side more headed away A Long Range shot oh hits the post bounces back out and drilled over it was jich with a long range shot which hit the post and then christovich all by himself hammered it in away from an open goal yeah jovic has just caught Dalo by surprise there I think the game has gone into such a low he's not expecting him to hit it from there and he pulls out a brilliant strike Rob hits the post and In fairness the flag did go up for the [Applause] rebound that's a great strike though initially so mosha is off and Militan osich or Prest the North End is on kid you not and uh back has come off he plays his football for ofi in Greece did say they're a league of they are Global is they they are glob one of them play in America as well uh no not these no no not as far as I can see it's couple in [Applause] Belgium I think usbekistan Korea Preston and Greece probably take the biscuit really oh and of course vukovich could still be in Mexico but he's on loan at the place that will'll uh we believe may be called cagina well Kena in [Applause] Spain so what have Montenegro got left they've got 20 minutes to make an impression but WS is starting to creep forward more than they were at the start of this second half lose possession then and Davis is beaten for once ytic plays it down the far touch line to christovich right hand side it's s meich won in the [Applause] [Music] middle B yet to come in they go back again ytic header from sixy box and dar was equal to it he does well to get down there on his left hand say he doesn't put the actions [Applause] yeah I'm not sure why the players chosen to go with a diving out of there could been a right foot B that one yeah just help it on his way across the keeper Corner in from the right hand side again deep and straight into the hands of daru I think I don't want to be the curse of the commentator again but don't say it then okay well up to now after 72 minutes I think he's done pretty well I'm saying no more than that in difficult conditions is hard R probably went up a few beats in the first half with that long range shot but apart from that I I agree Moren Wilson with the go Wales goal scorers Wilson tried to play the ball inside the fullback then he did but he was too strong for Brennan Johnson who will be itching to get on the goal seet as uh Montenegro through bage build again from the back he's settled into that Midfield he chips it over the top christovich is in here plays the ball across it's 2-1 it's turned in from close range by St and cage and Montenegro are back in this 72 minutes on the clock Montenegro one Wales two they played the pitch well there to be fair they broke from the middle of the pitch and rather than play the ball across a really slow pitch he chipped it up over the air and the Montenegro forwards was quicker than our Defenders unfortunately and he's got him behind and he's played it straight across the 6yd box and it's happen now there is a v check [Applause] yeah in the initial yeah I think I don't think the final ball was I think it was the L cross the ball Tam tamas is looking uh a little bit fed up as he contemplates that there is a v check there'll be a delay in the start ytic has now gone [Applause] off and he's been replaced by Marco vukovich who plays his football in [Applause] Bosnia they also same marusic has G up I'm sure I saw Now where's in line up to kick off again was told there is a v check but yeah there is a v check because they're just waiting I think was the substitute wasn't it uh bage who played the ball over the top looks like it's been given and it is it's 2-1 and now a real test for Wales in the last 15 maybe 20 minutes as the crow are [Applause] up you going to say J llo mon probably had the better of this second half they have apart from an odd spell um and I think that odd spell came after Jordan James came on into Midfield we had about a 10-minute spell there where we actually got the ball into the opposition half and created a couple of chances apart from that it has been a second half where we've L you know we've gone it's okay we're in control we'll keep the ball a little bit even though Montenegro were getting the ball now half and getting balls into the box they weren't really causing us too much of a problem but we're just looking back at the goal now and it's a great time run from from the forward from Montenegro and like I said that the Midfield has made a great decision chip the ball rather than play it across the floor because if we had played it if they had played it across the floor floor out Defenders would have nicked it cuz this pitch right now is not playing to anybody's Advantage it's holding up it's how much his second goal for his country did uh score against the cat Republic last year and they're forward again they got three red shirts in the middle waiting for the cross it is delivered K's the goal scorer left side of the Box takes a deflection a wicked deflection out for a corner Wales are under pressure here they're leading 2-1 on ready Wales and on BBC sounds it's developed into a better game than we really wanted in this second half Nathan Blake it has Rob and it's only going to get tougher it's to you if you're Wales now and Craig bellam me do you just sit and say right we're going to defend and try and Counterattack or do you continue with that arrogance of thinking right we can go and get a third goal by playing how we normally would play or how we want to play and ask more on the front foot but I would say the way the pitch is it's it's better just sitting and comes in from the right hand side is a scramble who's going to get there first of the loose ball is Brandon Johnson there's a Wales player down anyway not going to get much sympathy from the crowd and while L Colo is being taken it's Ido down uh vukovich has been replaced uh by uh risto radunovic who plays his football in Romania another country represented another League represented out there just watching that replay back we were lucky there because it was a free header from rubic with regards to Montenegro and we were lucky that it's gone straight into um ampadu so Montenegro the 10th smallest nation in Europe they're actually the second tallest people in the world as well so no wonder they're pretty good at Corners to be fair one of the employees of the match is getting the ball out wide getting good deliveries in and and to be fair they've won first Contact a lot they just haven't had your On Target and they they don't they don't think twice about crossing the ball that occasion there he's not thinking right let me have a look up see if my mate's in the Box he just I know he's going to be in there yeah yeah yeah yeah they've done it all game soon as they got the opportunity to put the ball across the 18 hour box yeah they've done it and they've done it with quality and fairness I know you're asking Jane if they're the second tallest who the tallest nation in the world go on tell me the Netherlands oh yeah I've been there recently to be fair i' back there well there we are yeah I felt quite small stick with this Jane llo you'll learn something new covering International Football Blake is used to these useless I'm waiting for you to break into cha Twains on after what you revealed earlier I feel a bit [Music] taller well it's less of a comfortable last 10 minutes compared to the first 10 minutes of the game isn't it you're absolutely spot on you've never said a true word Jane [Applause] llo so amadu is up he's okay running repairs down problem is now he has to run off so Wales have taking the ball again left it to darlo was going to take his time to uh by a few seconds of the minute amadu has to wait he sit High into the Montenegro and half it bounces all the way through for a goal kick at the other end B boy was ready to throw beovich the ball but uh his teammate did it for him this is going to go long as well and you expect them to play three or four up front now don't you well they just go direct Rob and In fairness they've they've played the pitch well like James said they've not tried to pass through the lines or anything like that let's get the ball one or two passes get it wide and get the ball in the box so ke for Moore is going off and Mark Harris in good form for Oxford is coming on for his sixth cup his first shout for more than a year and Harry Wilson the other goal scorer so both goal scorers off Harry Wilson and Kea Moore they gave Wales a two goal lead to a lightning start they've been replaced by markk Harris and Aaron Ramsey what you want when you want a bit of control Rambo's the man cross into that penalty area the Wales penalty area half cleared not entirely cleared though and Montenegro have the ball again we're into the last 10 minutes and there will be a good deal of added time I'm sure they Hoist the ball forward to cage crosses it from the by line on the Run stabbed away for and player number 30 by player number seven Mark haris the uh substitute page has made a real impact you have to say Welles have clean the ball again but not too far away and then it's cleared by rhen but straight to a red shirt now AMU strides forward to pick it up and move forward but sober Thomas driven back surrounded by two three play players one of them is too aggressive and it goes up for a Wales throw that was cheap by Montenegro he does well yet to hold the player off to be fair and there's another one coming after him as well but but what Wales do need right now is just Target player a point to hit to actually get it out of their own half when they turn that ball over they've kind of missed that this second half from there Jane yeah it's it's too easy we we we're winning it we're looking to build we through Central areas and we're just getting stuck to be fair to the monten midfielders they work really hard to get pressure in that area and second half they've done well to win it back two1 Wells lead anxious moments though in nichit Ramsey cross to James James goes wide to Johnson but it's intercepted and it's brought out of Defense by vich Roa concedes a throw high up the field taken by Jovovich then it's lost and Wells have won it back and they'll come forward now with Ramsey Johnson has gone forward not the best ball by Ramsey will Johnson keep it in yeah Johnson's just got to hold his his width there he's looking to get him behind again and Jordan James is right in front of him so if he holds his wi he knows right I can give Ramsey two options 2-1 83 minutes on the clock after the worlds were two up inside three minutes of this game monegro been given a Lifeline by kamaj challenged by sober Thomas Ramsey drifts out to the left hand sight sends it forward to Brandon Johnson Thomas is racing into the middle Mark Harris was there as well well Johnson can't beat the first man goes out for a Wales throw but it is high up the red wall you can [Applause] hear taking their time walk into this throw in you don't blame him either just to e out a few more seconds in nickit Ramsey goes short for the throw in gives it back to Ben Davis the two most experienced whales players combining high up the field in Montenegro territory Ramsey is on for his 86th cap just behind Ben [Applause] [Applause] Davis and ball downfield played back towards the monegan penalty area by Jordan James hoisted hoofed up in the air going to bounce out for a throw in Jan how Well's going to see this out now well but to be Hest I'm a little bit nervous it's been a really interesting game I think first half we were comfortable when we halim we were chatting about how comfortable we were and we were enjoying the game first 10 minutes were fantastic two goals up but it's a very different game Montenegro have come back into this second half they've created obviously one great chance and scored it um and and right now they're threatening us a little bit more than they did first half so I am a little bit nervous I think we can see it out but the decisions we make now when we get the ball back are important because what have we got five six minutes maybe a little bit longer added on time Scramble for the ball Midway inside the Wales half Wales come out with it Johnson shows it and then runs forward into the center circle he's uh well I thought he was brought down but referee says no backage stab the Foot In Here Come monegro Again get empty half cleared by ampadu Ramsey comes away with it he loses it coming back towards the whels penalty here kamaj tries to break inside niik Williams turns it in from the by line on the left hand side niik Williams helps it away again picked up once more by jovic I just think ORS have to get into the mentality of we're going to Counterattack we're going to defend we're going to make sure cuz you know we are far superior to Montenegro you just you defend well hold your box and you've got Pace on the pitch where you know you can Counterattack you got two flying Wingers you know just getting into that mind frame where we're just not not going to concede anything again at the moment they seem to be caught in between still trying to play and still trying to defend Ramsey sends Jordan James through now Brennan Johnson still got a man to beat edge of the penalty area lays it up for Harris Harris looks wide to Thomas they'll slow it down now Ramsey says I'll take control of this PS it back out to Thomas Thomas comes back towards the uh touch line and wins a free kick which will be helpful radunovic was too too enthusiastic again the second time he's done that yeah s was just moked him isn't he just sucked him in knows he wants he gets the ball back keep his body between the ball and the man and just buys the foul so free kick Wales on this right hand side played in by Nico Williams right footed headed out challenged by ambero and that's a poor ball and that could be a corner Wills will love that Dron kage M hit the ball back to his teammate and up for a [Applause] corner take your time Boys 3 minutes plus I would say four or five minutes out of time would you say yeah at least I [Applause] think goal now would be handy it's uh scrambled Away by Montenegro [Applause] and Davis calmly out to the left uh to the left hand side where Jordan James will switch play to Thomas who's picked up a good position wide on the right hand side heads towards his marker heads towards the Bing over hits it that'll be a goal kick radovic won't hang around with that Nathan Blake thoughts minute and a half to go of normal time yeah I feel quite quite comfortable to be honest trying to build it up here yeah well well you can build it up because you know I think Wells are are quite comfortable like I said just get into the mind frame like we we've got the game one let's just see it out doesn't matter you don't have to win it 3-1 you know 2-1 is fine ball forward and don't I think Nik Williams got away with one then ambo breaks through strong challenge again finds his Midfield partner James yeah it again Brennan Johnson inside should be out thas is doing playing wide well he should be holding but he's got Mark Harris inside him there you know just hold the touch line just give you your team some width you're going to be the out ball most of the time either you or um S Thomas last minute of normal time I think that's going to be a f by Ben Davis free kick Montenegro 10 yards inside the whs half out on that right touch line it was osich of Preston cross comes in from the right side blocked Montenegro Corner turkey have got a third against Iceland and akoglu has got his hattick so 3-1 there they will Top the group tonight Wales looking to be on their coattails by picking up the first win of the cig bamir 5 minutes to go Montenegro Corner cleared Away by Jordan James shot comes in from distance did it take any deflection no it's a goal kick there was a bit of a pudding that one wasn't it it's like it was a flat ball or something but when you see players shooting from four the yards or 35 yards these conditions you kind of take that when you yeah unless is ytic from just inside his own half yeah ranetki the uh Montenegro coach oh Craig B's got an faw jacket on now even he feels the weather car darlo on his debut told to hurry up he sliced that out for a throw in on halfway was it yeah so Thomas tried to keep it in and it's everybody forward for Montenegro now Welles have seen out the first minute of the added five radunovic with the throw down the left side gets it back tries to knock it past Jordan James but it's out for another throw they're inching forward down this near touch line throwing in again up to uh the edge of the box they've got men over on the right hand side it's going to be played back in over the head of the goal scorer kamaj he's picked up the ball now on the edge of the Box they don't want to shoot to they they want to get close cuz they think they've got aerial Advantage floated in again half played by Aaron Rams he saw but Thomas picked it up he'll run as much as he can and he's brought down by the substitute bage how stupid is that oh great play know package is just thinking if I get a foot in and win the ball back we're back on the attack but uh sber Thomas really good play takes a lot of pressure off his team Slovenia beaten Kazakhstan 3-0 Wales are in sight Jane Ledo they are but I'm not as comfortable as Nan is right now I'll be honest he's always cool and late I'm not sure if Craig will be either well he should be now cuz they just conceded a corner cpit [Music] I just think Wales are like I don't I've put down Montenegro and goal down to a bit of good play which we've seen a few times in the game but I don't think they've been able to you know control the game control us and really put us under major pressure they've had one or two opportunities here and there I just think I I say if Wales get the mind frame and just defend well which they have this last 5 minutes I just could see them seeing the game out silver Thomas crossed into the box it's cleared down field by vukich picked up on that fast drag back by Jordan James and he kicks the ball away that's a yellow card for James and Wales have got two minutes and they know you can score two goals in two minutes they've done it themselves Tonight free Kick this is going to go right into the mixer as we say in sport [Music] sometimes it's a free kick 56 yards inside the Wales half the Wales back line is a good 10 m from their penalty area they're sing as high as they can into that line James gets his head to it and again it's done really really well since he's come on Jordan James and now he's on the break down that left hand side we're into the last minute of added time S Thomas is up ahead can he get that first he can't oh he commits a foul I think the lads bought that one yeah I think he has actually yeah he knows he's going to either put it out for a corner or a goal kick there a little bit of a forand but not enough to S him flying jovovic picked up the tricks on the tradeing usbekistan yeah and it was it was on the side he he he he went as if he was pushed from behind clever play inside the last half a minute towering head of that time picked up by saber Thomas saber Thomas goes the ground loses possession though it's got to go forward now we're into the last 10 seconds or so flicked inside amadu just misses on the header they got man wide on the right hand side it's vukovich vukovich will cross on the right hand side blocked off by Ben Davis Corner given away by the world's Captain all I'm saying in my head is stop the cross Ben just stop the cross they've got six men in the box they're looking just to put it in there not with any sort of quality at the moment just caused Mayhem now the the uh a Bosnian player I think it's the substitute backage you just checked with the referee who I think has said this is the last play of the game so the goalkeeper movich is forward just ushered him up field every monten egram playing the penalty area Movic was the the Target and that's the final whistle Craig Bellamy has his first win as Wales manager they started his team in quick silver fashion two goals in the first 3 minutes from Kea Moore and Harry Wilson they had a fright in the second half as Montenegro pulled the goal back but his warriors were absolutely determined to hold on to this win in the rain and Bellamy era is very much up and now running in the Nations League it's finished Montenegro one Craig balam Wales 2 the rainmen have done it job done get out of there go home well what a night in nich each we've had one of wales's fastest ever goals ke for Mo after 37 seconds a Balter from Harry Wilson less than two minutes later
