Watch as Gareth Bale inspired Wales to break Ukrainian hearts to seal World Cup qualification for the first time since 1958 after a 1-0 win in the teams’ playoff in Cardiff on Sunday.
Bale’s excellent first-half free kick was headed into his own net by West Ham defender Andriy Yarmolenko after 34 minutes to send supporters wild at the Cardiff City Stadium.
It was a backs-to-the-wall performance for much of the second half, with Tottenham’s Ben Davies making a number of key blocks and Burnley goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey on hand with several vital saves.

Wales also hit the post in the second half through Brennan Johnson and Bale saw an angled effort well saved by Ukraine goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan as the home side sought a clincher. It was a nervy end but Wales managed to hold on to break Ukrainian hearts.
Wales will feature in Group B at Qatar 2022 alongside England, Iran and USA.
