Wales v Panama

0:00:11 > 0:00:15Hello, good evening and welcome to the Cardiff City Stadium where Wales

0:00:15 > 0:00:20play their final match of 2017 against World Cup qualifiers Panama.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24Will this be the last time manager Chris Coleman stands in the home

0:00:24 > 0:00:31dressing room, and will we see the young talents that lit up the Stade

0:00:31 > 0:00:32de France on Friday night?

0:00:35 > 0:00:41Float sitting, and it is turned home by Antoine Griezmann -- float it in.

0:00:41 > 0:00:55Takes on Taylor. Giroud. 2-0. Olivier Giroud. Now we await the

0:00:55 > 0:00:59future of the Wales National football team.Running at the French

0:00:59 > 0:01:03defence, lays it in for Brooks, Brooks for Wales, into the penalty

0:01:03 > 0:01:08area and Ramsay wants it back. Blaze it to Ethan Ampadu. Driven back

0:01:08 > 0:01:16across goal. What a difference the youngsters have already made.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22First-ever match between Wales and Panama on the international stage

0:01:22 > 0:01:26with Kris Commons taking charge of his 50th game for Wales, and could

0:01:26 > 0:01:31it be his last? Is the wave to the fans at Middag and quest mod --

0:01:31 > 0:01:37Chris Coleman. A severe test for Wales this evening. And a very good

0:01:37 > 0:01:42evening to you from the Cardiff City Stadium. Around 15,000 fans expected

0:01:42 > 0:01:47to night. John Hartson is with us here in Cardiff. And Helen Ward and

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Jack Collins and enjoy themselves so much in France they came back again.

0:01:51 > 0:01:58What do you make of the team news, with Edward Byrne starting? -- with

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Ben Woodburn starting?

0:02:10 > 0:02:15OK, a slight problem with your sound. A very good evening to you,

0:02:15 > 0:02:20Helen, what do you make of the team news that Ben Woodburn starts, also

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Ethan Ampadu and David Brooks? Really excited. Last time they came

0:02:25 > 0:02:28on and made a massive impact in it's a great opportunity for them to do

0:02:28 > 0:02:33it from the start.Jack, how impressed were you with the three

0:02:33 > 0:02:37lads when they came on?We said at the other night, they injected so

0:02:37 > 0:02:42much enthusiasm and energy. A lot of the talk around Woodburn, that

0:02:42 > 0:02:46Ampadu was outstanding, the way he went about his business, it was

0:02:46 > 0:02:50great to watch and it will be good to see them from the start tonight.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54You saw Ethan Ampadu in France. What impressed you about his

0:02:54 > 0:02:58contribution?He looked really comfortable in that position. He

0:02:58 > 0:03:03felt as though it was his environment. And his playing time at

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Chelsea is limited at the minute and all he can do as a young man is when

0:03:07 > 0:03:11he gets opportunities like to night to play the senior Welsh side, he

0:03:11 > 0:03:18can show Antonio Conte I, his manager, he can play at this level.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Chris Wilder is doing a great job with David Brooks at Sheffield

0:03:22 > 0:03:26United as they look like promotion contenders, but he has played his

0:03:26 > 0:03:31part.He's been outstanding Sheffield United. I've seen clips of

0:03:31 > 0:03:35him, but I have to say this is a player that looks to have lots of

0:03:35 > 0:03:41good things about him and hopefully he can make an impact.At the

0:03:41 > 0:03:45moment, thanks a lot, but let's hear from Chris Coleman. Chris, you could

0:03:45 > 0:03:50be the end of an era tonight. How do you feel?Just concentrating on the

0:03:50 > 0:03:55game which is all I can do. That has been my stock answer to the last

0:03:55 > 0:03:59four or five press conferences. We are up against good opposition to

0:03:59 > 0:04:05night again. We are fielding a young team, relatively inexperienced, but

0:04:05 > 0:04:11the bigger picture, everything is very much looking forward and

0:04:11 > 0:04:15building towards the next qualifying game which is some way away but we

0:04:15 > 0:04:18can start building. Looking forward to seeing how the guys do and how

0:04:18 > 0:04:21they stand up to it and that is pretty much where my focus is to

0:04:21 > 0:04:29night. I will be looking at what is going to happen, but for me, it's

0:04:29 > 0:04:34another game for Wales and one I'm looking forward to and I'm excited

0:04:34 > 0:04:37to see how we match up against a team that's already qualified for

0:04:37 > 0:04:42the World Cup.Chris, that's perfect. Thanks very much. Good like

0:04:42 > 0:04:46-- good luck. We can talk about Chris Coleman and his future later

0:04:46 > 0:04:50on, but let's look at Panama. These were the jubilant scenes in Panama

0:04:50 > 0:04:54City when they qualified for Russia. Let's find out more about the

0:04:54 > 0:05:02visitors. John Arnold has more. Let's talk about Panama, Akmal -- a

0:05:02 > 0:05:05small country in Central America that had never qualified for the

0:05:05 > 0:05:08World Cup before. The country was obsessed with baseball but football

0:05:08 > 0:05:12has grown in the last seven years. When Panama clinched qualification

0:05:12 > 0:05:18to the 20 13th World Cup, the coach became just the second manager ever

0:05:18 > 0:05:24to qualify three different teams to the World Cup -- 2018. He took

0:05:24 > 0:05:30Ecuador to it in 2002, and now Palun -- Panama in 2018. No doubt that

0:05:30 > 0:05:32this is the last chance for the greatest ever generation of

0:05:32 > 0:05:37footballers in Panama to qualify the World Cup and most of the key

0:05:37 > 0:05:39players are 30 years or older. But those veteran players are being

0:05:39 > 0:05:45pushed by a younger group, like Diaz, who is only 20-year-old and is

0:05:45 > 0:05:50in the Deportivo La Coruna youth system. It is a team that relies on

0:05:50 > 0:05:54physical tactics and there will be fouls and stoppages but Hernan Gomez

0:05:54 > 0:05:59does not let the team sit back all game. They will attack and look for

0:05:59 > 0:06:01goals, and especially in November friendlies when there is not too

0:06:01 > 0:06:07much at stake, it might be a bit more up for it than they were in

0:06:07 > 0:06:13World Cup qualification.Gabriel Torres is the main man for Panama,

0:06:13 > 0:06:18scoring five in his last eight appearances for Panama, and John is

0:06:18 > 0:06:21right, it is going to be physical, and that is what they will bring to

0:06:21 > 0:06:26the World Cup.They say they are very, very physical but I think they

0:06:26 > 0:06:30will be a stern test. If you look at the fact that they have qualified

0:06:30 > 0:06:36for the World Cup, their first time doing it, they will be buoyed up and

0:06:36 > 0:06:42they will have fulfilled an ambition of theirs, but I'm also looking

0:06:42 > 0:06:45forward to seeing their general build-up play in how good they are

0:06:45 > 0:06:50from back to front, and can make trouble Wales defensively?We will

0:06:50 > 0:06:56find out. Jack, what you expect?It will be a tough test and there will

0:06:56 > 0:06:59be a physicality to the game. The Central American players, it's part

0:06:59 > 0:07:05and parcel of what they bring. I'm excited to see their style, their

0:07:05 > 0:07:08philosophy, and you always find with the American players they like to

0:07:08 > 0:07:11get the ball down and pass it around and nine out of ten times they are

0:07:11 > 0:07:16technically good.In the match programme, the front of the match

0:07:16 > 0:07:20programme talks about building to the future, and John, you will know

0:07:20 > 0:07:24this, and Jack, in terms of international football, this is

0:07:24 > 0:07:28about building for the next generation of football. You played

0:07:28 > 0:07:31in friendlies as well, Jack and John, and this is about giving

0:07:31 > 0:07:36gametime to the youngsters.For sure. What better stage for the kids

0:07:36 > 0:07:42to come in and do a job. It is Nick -- a no pressure environment and

0:07:42 > 0:07:46they had a taste of it last week and Ben Woodburn has made a big impact

0:07:46 > 0:07:50and these are the games where they can go out and show what they can do

0:07:50 > 0:07:52without the pressure of qualification and it's a great

0:07:52 > 0:07:56experience for them to take into the next qualification phase and I'm

0:07:56 > 0:07:59excited to see what they do.That Panama fan who brought his umbrella

0:07:59 > 0:08:03has been listening to the weather forecast and came well-prepared. The

0:08:03 > 0:08:08front page of the programme to night talks about the future starting now.

0:08:08 > 0:08:13Of course, we don't know if Chris will stay or go but ultimately I

0:08:13 > 0:08:18feel with the blend we have in the group, looking at Gareth Bale, Aaron

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Ramsey, Joe Allen, they have not hit their prime. With the usefulness and

0:08:23 > 0:08:28energy we have, whoever it might be that carries on as the International

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Wales manager, they have a great group of players to work with.Danny

0:08:31 > 0:08:38Ward gets a chance to night, and Hennessy may have gone better for

0:08:38 > 0:08:42the Griezmann goal.What is your view? A great chance to get some

0:08:42 > 0:08:46game time. Hard for goalkeepers who are not number one in the national

0:08:46 > 0:08:50setup, a lot of time living in the shadows, but tonight he has an

0:08:50 > 0:08:54opportunity to stake a claim that the number one spot.When you look

0:08:54 > 0:08:58at Chris Coleman, when you see him being interviewed, do you think it

0:08:58 > 0:09:05is the last time?I can't tell. I go from one to the other. Sometimes I

0:09:05 > 0:09:09think he will go and then sometimes he will carry on with the players. I

0:09:09 > 0:09:12don't think the result will have a bearing, but he will know what is

0:09:12 > 0:09:16going to happen and I'm sure we will find out in the next few days.The

0:09:16 > 0:09:21last few interviews I've seen him, there is a sense he wants to stay.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24There are a few things to be ironed out with the backroom staff as one

0:09:24 > 0:09:28or two of them he would like them to become full-time and I can

0:09:28 > 0:09:32understand that because if he wants to sign a contract for two or three

0:09:32 > 0:09:37years, he wants the staff to feel part of it.That is a massive point,

0:09:37 > 0:09:41and the way he has built the squad over the last few years, but his

0:09:41 > 0:09:46backroom staff have played a match -- massive part.There is the

0:09:46 > 0:09:52pivotal man, the chief executive of the FA of Wales. And big smiles from

0:09:52 > 0:09:59Chris Gunter, the captain, who's been a magnificent servant.85 caps,

0:09:59 > 0:10:0328 years old and he has missed four games in eight years. Unbelievable

0:10:03 > 0:10:06what he has done. He fully deserves to lead the team out to night and I

0:10:06 > 0:10:09hope it's a good team performance and individual performance and I'm

0:10:09 > 0:10:12sure he will look back on to night with plenty of pride and plenty of

0:10:12 > 0:10:18joy.It could have been so different because the Republic of Ireland,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Martin O'Neill is leading them out against Denmark and they have a

0:10:21 > 0:10:24fantastic chance of qualification and it could have been so different.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29It is all ifs and buts in football. We had a home game we needed to win

0:10:29 > 0:10:33and we didn't quite produce the quality on the night we normally

0:10:33 > 0:10:37have, and we did not have Gareth Bale and Joe Allen came off early.

0:10:37 > 0:10:43Forget the excuses, Ireland went a goal in front and were so stubborn

0:10:43 > 0:10:45defensively and well-organised, a typical Martin O'Neill team, take

0:10:45 > 0:10:49the lead and sit on it and did a fantastic job on us and go into the

0:10:49 > 0:10:56game against Denmark. We wish them well, of course. Absolutely. And Ben

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Davies there. How impressed have you been with him for Spurs? He's been

0:11:00 > 0:11:03outstanding. I've not seen a lot of him at centre-half and it's

0:11:03 > 0:11:06different to the team in France, that was a back three and tonight

0:11:06 > 0:11:11they are playing a back four, but I like that he is left-sided and has

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Neil Taylor and then the two down the left-hand side. Hopefully they

0:11:14 > 0:11:20can produce some wit and get some crosses in for Vokes Dan Lawrence

0:11:20 > 0:11:25breaking into the box.Do you see goals in this one?I like to think

0:11:25 > 0:11:31so. Panama will come into this fall of beans and excited for their World

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Cup journey -- full of beans. We saw on the BT that they will attack and

0:11:35 > 0:11:39hopefully both sides will put on a really good performance.There are

0:11:39 > 0:11:43not many games now between now and the World Cup so they will want to

0:11:43 > 0:11:47work their way into the starting XI. One thing you will get with the

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Wales team is excitement and enthusiasm and there will be a

0:11:51 > 0:11:56really good buzz about the game and I am looking forward to it.Wales

0:11:56 > 0:12:00have not lost back-to-back home games under Chris Coleman since 2012

0:12:00 > 0:12:05when they lost three in a row. Here come the teams. Good even to you

0:12:05 > 0:12:09when Roberts and Rob Phillips. -- evening to you when Roberts.

0:12:12 > 0:12:19What a night the Chris Gunter. A month or so ago Ireland ensured that

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Wales's World Cup hopes were consigned to the annals of

0:12:22 > 0:12:25historical disappointment. Tonight we look to the future, but some

0:12:25 > 0:12:29things are always there. Some people are always there, and one of those

0:12:29 > 0:12:37is Chris Gunter, equalling the Gary speed mark of 85 caps to night and

0:12:37 > 0:12:41leading a young Wales team into battle for the first time.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59PANAMA NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26PANAMA NATIONAL ANTHEM CONTINUES.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30PANAMA NATIONAL ANTHEM CONTINUES.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01PANAMA NATIONAL ANTHEM CONTINUES.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02PANAMA NATIONAL ANTHEM CONTINUES.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23That Panama and firm, and at last we reach victory, how appropriate given

0:14:23 > 0:14:29that they will be going to the World Cup this summer, and now the Wales

0:14:29 > 0:14:29anthem.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Please stand for the national anthem of Wales.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM CONTINUES.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05APPLAUSE. . It never we wonder if it might be the last time Chris Coleman

0:16:05 > 0:16:15hears that anthem as of Wales. As the two sides have the usual hand

0:16:15 > 0:16:20taps, and Wales make six changes from the side that lost in France on

0:16:20 > 0:16:28Friday night. Danny Ward gets his first start since the first Euro

0:16:28 > 0:16:342016 game against Slovakia, but most interest in the people that three

0:16:34 > 0:16:41Musketeers, Ampadu, Brooks and Woodburn, all making their first

0:16:41 > 0:16:45start for Wales. Panama have five of the side that had their historic win

0:16:45 > 0:16:51over Costa Rica to book their place in the World Cup for the very first

0:16:51 > 0:16:58time will stop they are an experienced side who also know how

0:16:58 > 0:17:07to be physical in this game. And they will be really anxious to blue

0:17:07 > 0:17:16-- do better than they did when they lost 2-1 against Iran in France. The

0:17:16 > 0:17:26referee is from Belgium. There is even Ampadu, who became the third

0:17:26 > 0:17:33youngest Welsh player in his debut on Friday -- even Ampadu. And Chris

0:17:33 > 0:17:42Coleman now awaits for the toss of a coin, and also a presentation of

0:17:42 > 0:17:51Reeves -- of Reeves to remember Armistice weekend -- wreaths. The

0:17:51 > 0:17:59two captains, Chris Gunter and Baloy, as the two sides centre

0:17:59 > 0:18:03around the centre circle, and Cardiff City Stadium will go silent

0:18:03 > 0:18:07to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

0:18:19 > 0:18:25The Welsh cavalry and the NCO of Cardiff, and HMS Cambria, they are

0:18:25 > 0:18:33all represented. They all join together for the last post.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45LAST POST PLAYS.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55APPLAUSE.

0:20:05 > 0:20:12There is the Belgian referee, just 29, but he has been on the list for

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Fifa since 2012, and the Welsh side, in a huddle. The customary huddle

0:20:16 > 0:20:23before the match. 14th in the world they stand, but they won't be in the

0:20:23 > 0:20:27World Cup, so Chris Coleman, for what could be his last game as Wales

0:20:27 > 0:20:34manager, his 49th in charge of his country, goes to say hello to Hernan

0:20:34 > 0:20:43Gomez, a legend of Central American and South American football. And it

0:20:43 > 0:20:51is Panama who kick-off in the white strip with the blue flash, and

0:20:51 > 0:20:57immediately we see that Wales have reverted to a back four. Ampadu in

0:20:57 > 0:21:05the midfield alongside Dave Edwards. And David Brooks gets a touch. A

0:21:05 > 0:21:10little flick from Tom Lawrence, restored to the starting line-up.

0:21:10 > 0:21:16Alongside the former Wales striker -- alongside me. A real sense of

0:21:16 > 0:21:20excitement about the emergence of this young blood.Definitely. These

0:21:20 > 0:21:24two friendlies against France and Panama, when they were announced, we

0:21:24 > 0:21:29expected Chris to go with a strong side in Paris, which he did, but we

0:21:29 > 0:21:33came here to night expecting a few changes we have got that and I'm

0:21:33 > 0:21:39really looking forward to that, the three youngsters who came on with

0:21:39 > 0:21:49half an hour to go against the French. Especially that man in

0:21:49 > 0:21:55midfield, -- Ampadu. We have got pace up front, something we lacked

0:21:55 > 0:22:00on Friday and Sam Vokes will get the support he did not get, and I want

0:22:00 > 0:22:05is to be better in possession. We were sloppy to long periods of the

0:22:05 > 0:22:08game against the French.Plenty of experience on the bench, as you can

0:22:08 > 0:22:21see. There is Ben Woodburn, the Liverpool player. This is Ampadu,

0:22:21 > 0:22:26his first start. He directs Chester to move it to Ben Davies. He goes

0:22:26 > 0:22:28wide to Taylor.

0:22:31 > 0:22:38No Aaron Ramsey, he has returned to Arsenal, and that was planned and

0:22:38 > 0:22:42will be really excited to see what David Brooks does. In such

0:22:42 > 0:22:45scintillating form for Sheffield United. Not bad, finding Woodburn in

0:22:45 > 0:22:53the box. A little clip forward and I think Vokes is offside anyway.Just

0:22:53 > 0:22:58strayed into an offside position, Sam Vokes, but lovely plate down the

0:22:58 > 0:23:02right-hand side by David Brooks and a good little 1-2 with Sam Vokes.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07Lovely ball to the left-hand side and then Ben Woodburn is only going

0:23:07 > 0:23:11to go down the line the ball. A lovely little ball in, just bouncing

0:23:11 > 0:23:19in front of Sam Vokes who could not get hold of it.We saw Brooks cross

0:23:19 > 0:23:24deliciously for Ben Woodburn against France for a volley that he put

0:23:24 > 0:23:29over. Not the easiest barley at that but Brooks showing why he is

0:23:29 > 0:23:36considered such an exciting talent, and maybe the likes of Ben Woodburn

0:23:36 > 0:23:42will convince Chris Coleman that this is not the time to leave Wales

0:23:42 > 0:23:49are the future is bright. We shall see. The next 88 minutes will tell

0:23:49 > 0:23:58us a lot about that against a side ranked 49 in the world. Konta. --

0:23:58 > 0:23:59government.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06Chris Gunter.

0:24:06 > 0:24:13Chris Gunter. Intercepted by Cooper. Looking to the run of Tom Lawrence,

0:24:13 > 0:24:21who seems to have licence to roam wherever he wants. Woodburn, he will

0:24:21 > 0:24:33look to return the favour.Looking to force it, Ben Woodburn and he

0:24:33 > 0:24:39made a magnificent run down the left-hand side. Neil Taylor could

0:24:39 > 0:24:51have come onto the ball and cross it into the box.

0:24:52 > 0:25:00They are spread far and wide. Escobar, from New York Red Bulls, he

0:25:00 > 0:25:03knocks it forward. Gabrielle Torres chases it forward, the man who

0:25:03 > 0:25:10scored the Phantom goal against Costa Rica -- Gabriel Torres. We

0:25:10 > 0:25:15watched them train last night, Panama and they were concentrating

0:25:15 > 0:25:20on defensive work but then breaking as quickly as possible. Trying to

0:25:20 > 0:25:25hit the front line of Gabriel Torres and Blas Perez. Chris Gunter looks

0:25:25 > 0:25:31the run of Brooks. Ovalle is there -- looks for. Ampadu tries to force

0:25:31 > 0:25:36his way in but it is a Villa -- a Villa.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43Brooks once more. Seeing a lot of the ball and full of confidence. The

0:25:43 > 0:25:52cross. And it is collected by the goalkeeper.David Brooks is down the

0:25:52 > 0:25:55right-hand side, but he is all left foot and it's a great ball in. He

0:25:55 > 0:25:59beat his man with ease and it is a peach of a ball to the back post but

0:25:59 > 0:26:06does not quite getting off on the header, Ben Woodburn. A lovely ball.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10You would have loved that, in your pump -- pom.

0:26:13 > 0:26:26He has started well. We only had Ryan Giggs playing.Brooks loses it.

0:26:26 > 0:26:36Chipped forward, looking for Torres. There is Avila. This time his

0:26:36 > 0:26:48progress is stopped by Avila. He was the star man the other night, a

0:26:48 > 0:26:53magnificent performance from someone so young. Looking down the middle

0:26:53 > 0:27:03now. Loses it. As Heraldez moves in, this is Heraldez. He is based in

0:27:03 > 0:27:13Panama. Back to the captain, Baloy, his 99th cap tonight. Escobar.That

0:27:13 > 0:27:17is what I want to see is do, put them under pressure, don't give them

0:27:17 > 0:27:24time on the ball. Don't just go individually, go as a team.The

0:27:24 > 0:27:32referee impeded Ampadu there. Manuel Vargas. A little turn by Avila, but

0:27:32 > 0:27:36snuffed out. Escobar again.

0:27:41 > 0:27:48Penedo, his 128 cap, second in the all-time caps for Panama. Gabrielle

0:27:48 > 0:27:52Gomez 's top with 140 -- Gabriel Gomez 's top.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59Looking to move forward for the first time. Taylor blocks the

0:27:59 > 0:28:03attempted cross from Michael Murillo. Another who is with the New

0:28:03 > 0:28:10York Red Bulls. A good combination with Cooper. Torres waits in the

0:28:10 > 0:28:16box. And Gabriel Torres was on hand, and just as well that James Chester

0:28:16 > 0:28:22was in the right place.Far too much time for Murillo down the right.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Neil Taylor does not get close enough. Has to get tighter. Needs to

0:28:26 > 0:28:30get closer to the player and stop him putting the cross in. Far too

0:28:30 > 0:28:35easy in the end will stop there is Hernan Gomez, one of only two men to

0:28:35 > 0:28:41lead three sides to World Cup finals.He has been there with

0:28:41 > 0:28:47Colombia, Ecuador and now, memorably with Panama.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56We know what to do if Chris does decide his future lies elsewhere.I

0:28:56 > 0:29:01did say that the summary from the FA WGS today, if Chris Coleman is

0:29:01 > 0:29:07determined to leave, have a word with Homer -- Hernan Gomez. Lovely

0:29:07 > 0:29:12play by Laurence. Escobar is across there. Murillo.

0:29:19 > 0:29:25The mistake presents Vokes with an opportunity. He shoots. Just white

0:29:25 > 0:29:29-- wide. He will be disappointed, big Sam, on his right foot, 20 yards

0:29:29 > 0:29:34from goal.He has to hit the target. That is why he's shaking his head

0:29:34 > 0:29:38and he is disappointed. A bit of a mistake from Panama. We thought it

0:29:38 > 0:29:44was in when he first let rip. Inches past the post, and Chris Coleman

0:29:44 > 0:29:48knows that, really, Sam Vokes should be working the goalkeeper from that

0:29:48 > 0:29:54distance.His last goal was here against Moldova at the start of the

0:29:54 > 0:29:57World Cup campaign.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05Penedo with the clearance.

0:30:09 > 0:30:17A mistake by Manuel Vargas. Chris Gunter, what a night, his 85th cap.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21He's missed only four internationals in ten years and two of those were

0:30:21 > 0:30:27because he was playing for the U21 's.Absolutely brilliant, he's been,

0:30:27 > 0:30:33hasn't he?A big

0:30:37 > 0:30:41Tom Lawrence needs to stay away there.We saw David Brooks more than

0:30:41 > 0:30:45once in the opening ten minutes causing problems down the right-hand

0:30:45 > 0:30:48side, and Tom Lawrence, don't come too far wide, leave the space or

0:30:48 > 0:30:54David Brooks. Stay close to Sam or drop deeper, if needs be, but don't

0:30:54 > 0:30:58come out to the left-hand side, or right-hand side, sorry.The straight

0:30:58 > 0:31:06pass from Ampadu, giving him time to atone for that.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Big night for Danny

0:31:09 > 0:31:13Big night for Danny Ward. Very patient. His second senior

0:31:13 > 0:31:18appearance this season for club or country. Gunther responsible for

0:31:18 > 0:31:24losing the ball there. Vargas. Murillo.

0:31:31 > 0:31:45Heraldez to Escobar. Baloy. Earned his debut in 2001, Baloy. Overhit

0:31:45 > 0:31:47that pass.

0:31:51 > 0:32:03Edwards. Looking for Vokes. Vokes, the Burnley striker. Put him under

0:32:03 > 0:32:09pressure. Does well to extricate himself from that. A little flick on

0:32:09 > 0:32:16by Cooper, ball forward which Chester should deal with.You

0:32:16 > 0:32:20sounded panicky! Don't panic. Chasing a lost cause, Sam Vokes. A

0:32:20 > 0:32:25poor ball up to him, never going to get on the end of that. All he can

0:32:25 > 0:32:29do is pursued that ball and make it hard for the defender, get his head

0:32:29 > 0:32:34down and play a long ball up front, which he did. Wales win the ball

0:32:34 > 0:32:39back. Had Sam Vokes not that the pressure on in the first place, they

0:32:39 > 0:32:43wouldn't have been able to play from the back.A comfortable evening

0:32:43 > 0:32:52weather-wise. There has been rain today. I wonder what's going through

0:32:52 > 0:32:59his mind. Contract negotiations will begin again after this game. He has

0:32:59 > 0:33:03a break in his contract at the end of November. He would like to get it

0:33:03 > 0:33:10sorted by then. We shall see. But he said before the two internationals

0:33:10 > 0:33:13this month there would be no contract talks whilst these games

0:33:13 > 0:33:19were happening.He had the ball on this right-hand side and neither

0:33:19 > 0:33:28Centre forward went for it.Just overhit that. The rain coming down

0:33:28 > 0:33:38now, actually. Just hit the skiddy turf and went away from Woodburn.He

0:33:38 > 0:33:43had the vision, I think he could have collected that. But with the

0:33:43 > 0:33:47outside of his foot. A great ball from Ampadu from the middle of the

0:33:47 > 0:33:55park.There is the FA of Wales chief executive. He will be conducting

0:33:55 > 0:34:01their side of the negotiations. And also hoping that maybe Wales can

0:34:01 > 0:34:08still host some 2020 games, given the problems in Belgium with their

0:34:08 > 0:34:14new stadium at the moment. All eyes on Wales Panama, the very first

0:34:14 > 0:34:26meeting between these two sides. Vokes quickly in. Ovalle plays his

0:34:26 > 0:34:31football in Colombia. They do like to travel, Panama, the Panama

0:34:31 > 0:34:38players. Murillo. Inside to Heraldez. Her Raul Perez make space

0:34:38 > 0:34:47and tips it out to Ovalle.That's a problem with the pitch, you

0:34:47 > 0:34:52mentioned it there. It is really wet. Drizzle all day in the capital.

0:34:52 > 0:34:59It wasn't a bad header in the end, Gunter, took the pace of it. Danny

0:34:59 > 0:35:04Ward just couldn't gather it. They do score a few goals from set

0:35:04 > 0:35:13pieces, Panama.They do. So, Baloy and Murillo up from the back.

0:35:19 > 0:35:28It is crossed in and well gathered by Ward.Well gathered, saw it nice

0:35:28 > 0:35:32and early, and early shout for his defenders, who knew he was coming

0:35:32 > 0:35:41out. Brooks now touches it for Edwards. Woodburn. Just loses it.

0:35:41 > 0:35:46Sometimes you have to do the simple thing, been picked up by two

0:35:46 > 0:35:50players, just pass it back to Neil Taylor, you've done your job then.

0:35:50 > 0:35:58Sliding challenge, Brooks. Gabrielle Toores. A lovely ball through to

0:35:58 > 0:36:14Blas Perez. Perez, joint higher scorer in Costa Rican history. That

0:36:14 > 0:36:27is Torres. A Panama player is down. Let's head down to pitch side and

0:36:27 > 0:36:34speak to John Hartson.You have been quite impressed with the stock from

0:36:34 > 0:36:39Wales, John?Yes, I have. The young Ladbrokes has been very impressive.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43He looks confident. I like the way he played the ball into Lawrence

0:36:43 > 0:36:49round the corner and setup Woodburn and then Sam Vokes. The other time,

0:36:49 > 0:36:53he just looks very comfortable in possession. I have to be honest, I

0:36:53 > 0:36:58know Panama have got to a World Cup, but if Wales go about this tonight

0:36:58 > 0:37:02in the right fashion I can only see a comfortable Wales. I don't a lot

0:37:02 > 0:37:06of quality in this Panama side. I'm delighted with the start Wales have

0:37:06 > 0:37:10made, they look solid at the back and knocking the ball about very

0:37:10 > 0:37:16well.John, thank you. Always good to have big John on the

0:37:16 > 0:37:22team. No shortage of strikers, I'm alongside Iwan Roberts. Still

0:37:22 > 0:37:26waiting for the first goal, but plenty of intent.

0:37:30 > 0:37:41Ovalle. Quickly onto Heraldez.Big job and said it there, they look as

0:37:41 > 0:37:46though they lack that little bit of quality, that technique you need,

0:37:46 > 0:37:51and that's why I would like to see us press high up the field, put them

0:37:51 > 0:37:59under pressure.Lovely ball to Brooks, Brooks now... Tried to catch

0:37:59 > 0:38:05up the goalkeeper, but just a little wayward with the shot.A good run,

0:38:05 > 0:38:09gathers it superbly, lovely first touch to control the ball but can't

0:38:09 > 0:38:14quite put the final delivery in. Took that ball superbly in his

0:38:14 > 0:38:20stride. Well found by Chris Gunter. A nervous we passed from Ethan

0:38:20 > 0:38:27Ampadu. That is a couple now. Wales having plenty of attempts, which

0:38:27 > 0:38:31will please Chris Coleman. WHISTLE

0:38:41 > 0:38:45Baloy will take the free kick.

0:38:48 > 0:38:57Watched by Ben Davies. Baloy with it... Had to deal with the threat of

0:38:57 > 0:39:01Ricardo Avila. Again, a little over exuberant. The captain wants it

0:39:01 > 0:39:03taken quickly.

0:39:14 > 0:39:24Ward finds Ampadu, patient by Wales and in their own penalty area.

0:39:24 > 0:39:28Ampadu again.

0:39:31 > 0:39:36Davies.

0:39:36 > 0:39:42Davies. Brooks is inside. Trying to play a 1-2 with Lawrence.

0:39:48 > 0:39:54Clever by Avila, really clever by Avila.Really good feet by Avila on

0:39:54 > 0:39:57the left-hand side. Under pressure, blood pressure as well, Edwards and

0:39:57 > 0:40:12Brooks.This is Avila, plays for Gent's reserve side. A little

0:40:12 > 0:40:15wayward there with the passing. Perez.

0:40:23 > 0:40:29Davies chests down for Ampadu and gets it back. Isn't it interesting

0:40:29 > 0:40:34how the three youngsters look for each other with their passes?They

0:40:34 > 0:40:39don't look out of place. Really good, confident start by all three.

0:40:39 > 0:40:44A minute ago we had even Ampadu dropping really deep, just outside

0:40:44 > 0:40:47his own penalty box and getting the ball from Danny Ward and building

0:40:47 > 0:40:53play up.Just ran into traffic there.

0:40:59 > 0:41:10Ovalle, up to Torres. WHISTLE Ethan Ampadu on his first start,

0:41:10 > 0:41:14picks up his first international yellow card.You know what... It is

0:41:14 > 0:41:20a yellow card. Slightly late. I think he wins the ball to be fair,

0:41:20 > 0:41:31but it's the way he dives in.Not too many complaints with that...I

0:41:31 > 0:41:34don't mind saying that, that little bit of devilment in him. You need

0:41:34 > 0:41:41that if you are going to play in the middle of the park.They do seem to

0:41:41 > 0:41:45have decided he is a central midfield player rather than a

0:41:45 > 0:41:51centre, at least at the moment. But he is so young, Ethan Ampadu.Only

0:41:51 > 0:41:5917 now. He has four or five years to develop.Absolutely.If he does in

0:41:59 > 0:42:04the end aside his best position is at centre-half, what a capable

0:42:04 > 0:42:08centre-half you have there, very fraud with having the ball at his

0:42:08 > 0:42:15feet.Neil Taylor, sloppy. Rescued by the flag of linesman there. I

0:42:15 > 0:42:21think Murillo feels he was a little hard done by. Scored on his debut,

0:42:21 > 0:42:28Michael Amir Murillo, against Martinique. Both goals for his

0:42:28 > 0:42:33country so far have been against Martinique.I think you got the ball

0:42:33 > 0:42:42first, though. Neil Taylor got away with that one.Cleared by Ward.

0:43:02 > 0:43:07Lawrence for Wales.

0:43:07 > 0:43:14Lawrence for Wales. A row high in Panama territory. Neil Taylor.

0:43:14 > 0:43:20Lovely little flick by Ampadu Lawrence. If you step overs... Tom

0:43:20 > 0:43:27Lawrence. It is a corner rather than something more profitable.Really

0:43:27 > 0:43:34well worked down the left-hand side, lovely skill by Ben Woodburn. Tom

0:43:34 > 0:43:38Lawrence, I thought he just did enough, but he has a heavy touch

0:43:38 > 0:43:43just at the end, which enables Panama to clear their lines.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45A short corner. Edwards.

0:43:51 > 0:43:56Taylor didn't make the most of it, and he's lost it. But he atones for

0:43:56 > 0:44:02his mistake.I think that's the thing with youngsters, Rob. They

0:44:02 > 0:44:05haven't got any fear in their play. They're not afraid to make mistakes,

0:44:05 > 0:44:10they will try different things. We've said it more than once,

0:44:10 > 0:44:15especially with Brooks and Woodburn comment down both flanks this

0:44:15 > 0:44:23evening.Gunter looks ahead, but the captain turned back to Ampadu.

0:44:25 > 0:44:34Taylor, again. Picks out Lawrence. Woodburn. WHISTLE

0:44:34 > 0:44:41He's pulled down.A massive gap down that left-hand side for Wales.Ben

0:44:41 > 0:44:46Woodburn this drawing the right back higher up the field and there is

0:44:46 > 0:44:50space to put the ball into. Tom Lawrence got into that space. That

0:44:50 > 0:44:54was well worked, good thinking, intelligent play by Ben Woodburn.By

0:44:54 > 0:45:00going short for the ball, he was dragging the defender out of there.

0:45:00 > 0:45:05Are we going to have a little wager he will suit here?I think you have

0:45:05 > 0:45:10to put it into an area, make the goalkeeper work, have it bounce in

0:45:10 > 0:45:17front of them.Woodburn with it... Looking for Edwards. I think Edwards

0:45:17 > 0:45:29just shoved Gunter but a decent delivery from Ben Woodburn. There he

0:45:29 > 0:45:34is, just 18. Scored after 261 seconds unforgettably against

0:45:34 > 0:45:43Austria. It was all in vain. He will be disappointed he won't be on the

0:45:43 > 0:45:51plane to Russia this summer, like the rest of us, really. Envious of

0:45:51 > 0:45:56these Panama players and what they have in front of them. This is one

0:45:56 > 0:45:59of a few friendlies that they will have. This is the way they will play

0:45:59 > 0:46:05out in Russia.They will sit deep, get men behind the ball and try and

0:46:05 > 0:46:09hit on the counterattack, try to frustrate.They are missing a few

0:46:09 > 0:46:18tonight. Torres who scored the winning goal against Costa Rica is

0:46:18 > 0:46:26not on this trip.I bet he still drunk!They all had a holiday after

0:46:26 > 0:46:33qualifying. Chester is caught in possession. That has happened too

0:46:33 > 0:46:37often.Routers, sends Cooper scurrying down. Good tackle by Ben

0:46:37 > 0:46:45Davies. Chester can't do that there, Rob.WHISTLE

0:46:45 > 0:46:53Was he brought down then? He was.I think as Ben is coming in from that

0:46:53 > 0:46:56left-hand side, I think he wants a centre forward to play it into and

0:46:56 > 0:47:00maybe get it back. Sam Vokes isn't getting over their quick enough for

0:47:00 > 0:47:06me.Wales have taken it quickly. Baloy is there to deal with the

0:47:06 > 0:47:14little flick from Brooks. They win it back high up, though. Don't think

0:47:14 > 0:47:19Brooks meant the backheel to go there but he will take it. Ampadu in

0:47:19 > 0:47:21space.

0:47:33 > 0:47:45Ampadu wants it. Six substitutes allowed in this game, it's in the

0:47:45 > 0:47:49Fifa rules now for friendlies. Maybe more changes at half-time by Chris

0:47:49 > 0:47:57Coleman, to introduce more new blood. Lovely from Woodburn. Taylor!

0:47:57 > 0:48:02Tried to summon the spirit of Toulouse, when he scored his one and

0:48:02 > 0:48:06only golfer Wales against Russia, but not to be that time.Lovely from

0:48:06 > 0:48:12Ben Woodburn. It was there to be hit. I prefer he'd have hit it

0:48:12 > 0:48:17across the six yard box. Sam Vokes had made that front. It was a wild

0:48:17 > 0:48:20shot in the end by Neil Taylor.

0:48:25 > 0:48:35Good header on by Heraldez. In steps Escobar. Avila. Avila tries to

0:48:35 > 0:48:47threaded through for Torres. Chester deals with that. Chester again.

0:48:47 > 0:48:56Finds Lawrence. Brooks. Touch and run. Baloy is steaming across.Well

0:48:56 > 0:49:05defended by Baloy, to be fair. He saw that. Lovely pass from David

0:49:05 > 0:49:10Brooks done this left-hand side. But good recovery.Wales trying to deal

0:49:10 > 0:49:15with it with quick passing. Brooks. The cross left footed, floated in

0:49:15 > 0:49:20again, but too strong that time. Disappointing ball in the end. Or

0:49:20 > 0:49:28end product. But what I like as a former centre forward, watch when he

0:49:28 > 0:49:31gets the ball. Habitats, have not want to set him up and put the ball

0:49:31 > 0:49:36in. That is all Sam Vokes can ask. Yes, a disappointing cross in the

0:49:36 > 0:49:41end, but I like that. He doesn't try to overcomplicate things, just tries

0:49:41 > 0:49:48to put that ball in.You can already see he knows Ben Woodburn will be

0:49:48 > 0:49:51making that run to the far post, David Brooks.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59Penedo's clearance.

0:50:01 > 0:50:06WHISTLE

0:50:06 > 0:50:10WHISTLE Ben Woodburn is knocked over.

0:50:16 > 0:50:22Woodburn again. He's lost the ball. Half an hour gone, still waiting for

0:50:22 > 0:50:25the first goal.

0:50:29 > 0:50:35Brooks, he's seen plenty of the ball. Really elegant and in control,

0:50:35 > 0:50:40as well.Comfortable with the ball at his feet, isn't he? Running at

0:50:40 > 0:50:47defenders.Murillo to Gabriel Torres. Torres has Cooper in the

0:50:47 > 0:50:52middle. He may fancy it himself! Over the top. You could see what he

0:50:52 > 0:50:57was trying to do, get that ball on his right foot, curl the ball to the

0:50:57 > 0:51:01left of Danny Ward.Don't think Chester or Gunter worked hard enough

0:51:01 > 0:51:07to force him down the left-hand side, so he crossed with his left.

0:51:07 > 0:51:19They call him "The Little ghost". Almost ghosted in there. Better by

0:51:19 > 0:51:24Sam, good hold up play under pressure. Making sure that ball

0:51:24 > 0:51:30sticks. So important as a centre forward. Note Aaron Ramsey all

0:51:30 > 0:51:39Gareth Bale or Robson-Kanu. -- no Aaron Ramsey or Gareth Bale or

0:51:39 > 0:51:42Robson-Kanu. Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale at the best forward threat

0:51:42 > 0:51:48players. And no Joe Allen in the midfield.30 goals between Aaron

0:51:48 > 0:51:53Ramsey and Gareth Bale, and that's a big chunk of goals, Rob.What have

0:51:53 > 0:51:59you made of Panama so far? As Escobar looks at the run of Cooper.

0:51:59 > 0:52:04Davies, what an interception that was.They are very organised, they

0:52:04 > 0:52:08are hard-working. You can see that their tactic is to hit us on the

0:52:08 > 0:52:15break. I think the right back, Murillo down the left-hand side has

0:52:15 > 0:52:23caused us problems with his energetic runs.So many of the

0:52:23 > 0:52:26central South American countries look technically proficient, don't

0:52:26 > 0:52:32they? But maybe Murillo has left space for Woodburn. If he did,

0:52:32 > 0:52:41Cooper was there to cover. He has 96 caps now, Armando Cooper. Plays his

0:52:41 > 0:52:45football in Canada, Toronto. Squeezed away by Escobar. Up to

0:52:45 > 0:52:57Avila. Ovalle is there. Avila was in the centre. Brooks, it towards the

0:52:57 > 0:53:03penalty area. No foul that time. The referee was right there.Having none

0:53:03 > 0:53:08of it, was he, the referee? Shook his head straightaway. It's one of

0:53:08 > 0:53:11those, whether Brooks runs straight into the defender... It's hard to

0:53:11 > 0:53:17say. The ball's gone past him. Torres, outside to Cooper. Murillo

0:53:17 > 0:53:24forward again. Baloy has trotted across halfway. There he is, the

0:53:24 > 0:53:34captain. Blas Perez, wide to Murillo. Murillo, will he cross

0:53:34 > 0:53:39first time? No, takes a touch. It enables tailored to make the block.

0:53:39 > 0:53:44Better from Neil Taylor, nice and close. Just has a word to Ben

0:53:44 > 0:53:48Woodburn, who wasn't aware and he should have been aware that the

0:53:48 > 0:53:51right back had made that darting run. You have to be aware, got to

0:53:51 > 0:53:59see man and ball. Got to track the right back back.

0:53:59 > 0:54:07It is with Cooper again. Not much on for him at the moment. Tried to look

0:54:07 > 0:54:16inside... Fallen nicely for Heraldez. Squandered half a chance,

0:54:16 > 0:54:23really.Did and expect it to get it? Took a slight deflection off

0:54:23 > 0:54:27Edwards, he took a touch, it sits up for him, there to be taken on the

0:54:27 > 0:54:32volley. Not an easy chance for Heraldez.Danny Ward, only his

0:54:32 > 0:54:38second appearance this season. His other was for Liverpool in the

0:54:38 > 0:54:44League Cup, defeat.The keeper hasn't had much to do after 34

0:54:44 > 0:54:49minutes of this game, which will slightly disappoint Chris Coleman.

0:54:49 > 0:54:55Plenty of the ball, plenty of the ball in the final third, plenty of

0:54:55 > 0:55:00balls into Panama's penalty box, just lacked that real quality that

0:55:00 > 0:55:08we've needed.They have just looked organised, have faith, Panama?You

0:55:08 > 0:55:13can see their tactics are fairly simple, just sucks you in and then

0:55:13 > 0:55:17catch you with a break. We have said it so many times in the past, we do

0:55:17 > 0:55:28find it hard where we play at home against a nation that would expect

0:55:28 > 0:55:32to defend in numbers, to the high let us have the ball in midfield,

0:55:32 > 0:55:36the build-up from the back. We have found it hard to break these types

0:55:36 > 0:55:45of teams down?Disappointed by their performance against Iran last week.

0:55:45 > 0:55:51Iran have also qualified for the World Cup.

0:55:51 > 0:56:00Vargas, cut out by Woodburn. Ampadu. Murillo was tracking that time.

0:56:00 > 0:56:15Ampadu now. Woodburn, Lawrence, but cut out by Vargas. Baloy's backpass

0:56:15 > 0:56:19forcing Penedo into swift action but he dealt with it.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25Into the last ten minutes of the first half.

0:56:34 > 0:56:41Panama are coping pretty well. Lawrence to Woodburn. Davies...

0:56:41 > 0:56:51WHISTLE Apologies from Gabriel Torres. Good

0:56:51 > 0:56:53urgency about Wales.

0:56:57 > 0:57:03Brooks wants it and gets it from Gunter. The cross may be a little

0:57:03 > 0:57:09short. Tries to hold it up. Outnumbered in the end. But he has

0:57:09 > 0:57:15picked up possession and he stepped to it... Brooks! He wins a corner.

0:57:15 > 0:57:20Avila is not happy about something. I don't think there was a free kick.

0:57:20 > 0:57:25Good tenacity by David Brooks. Lost the ball in initially but then won

0:57:25 > 0:57:30it again. You can see, trying to bend that ball to the right of the

0:57:30 > 0:57:39goalkeeper, Penedo. The referee is having a word with

0:57:39 > 0:57:46Escobar and Chris Gunter has gone across as well. Don't know how good

0:57:46 > 0:57:58Bart Vertenten's Spanish is. Escobar got the message, though. Woodburn.

0:57:58 > 0:58:02With the corner for Wales, looking to make the breakthrough before the

0:58:02 > 0:58:03interval.

0:58:05 > 0:58:14Clipped in.A great ball.It was. Ampadu picks it up. Back to

0:58:14 > 0:58:26Lawrence. Tom Lawrence...A good header by the fan in the crowd!

0:58:26 > 0:58:32Scored a few goals like that from that distance last year, some

0:58:32 > 0:58:35absolute worldly goals but doesn't get hold of that one whatsoever.

0:58:35 > 0:58:42Leaning back. We know he is more than capable of scoring from that

0:58:42 > 0:58:44type of distance, though.

0:58:48 > 0:58:59It has been a quiet night so far for Jaime Penedo. The Panama keeper.

0:58:59 > 0:59:03Strong in the challenge, that's the one thing you can say about this

0:59:03 > 0:59:09Panama side. They are not afraid of physical confrontation. Perez,

0:59:09 > 0:59:14looking for the run of Torres.He was away, James Chester. A really

0:59:14 > 0:59:20good header by Torres for his strike partner. Good awareness by James

0:59:20 > 0:59:28Chester, new Torres was on his shoulder.Lawrence is hobbling. The

0:59:28 > 0:59:38Derby County player. Ampadu slides in again. Picked up by Blas Perez!

0:59:38 > 0:59:44He wasn't too far away.Danny Ward had that one covered. He knows he

0:59:44 > 0:59:49will never be beaten by that shot. You can tell by his reaction.

0:59:55 > 1:00:01Camera dive, was it?Just making sure. Just making sure, covering

1:00:01 > 1:00:05that side of the goal. He was always confident that shot wasn't going to

1:00:05 > 1:00:12cause him any problems.43 goals for Blas Perez, for Panama.That is a

1:00:12 > 1:00:22great return, Rob.150th appearance. They have a few caps, don't they?

1:00:22 > 1:00:29They have, they have. Baloy is one away from his century. Wales have

1:00:29 > 1:00:35lost an awful lot of caps tonight, with people like Ashley Williams and

1:00:35 > 1:00:45Joe Ledley on the bench.The fans making their voices known to Chris.

1:00:45 > 1:00:50Chris Coleman, we want you to stay, that was the charmed.Brooks. We

1:00:50 > 1:00:56said it earlier, he is tenacious, isn't he?Not afraid to get stuck

1:00:56 > 1:01:02in. Three players trying to close him down then, I think it was Avila

1:01:02 > 1:01:12that came across and tried.Picking out Brooks, Edwards in the box,

1:01:12 > 1:01:18penalty, Wales. Edwards brought down. And it was Avila the offender,

1:01:18 > 1:01:28and who will take the penalty? No Aaron Ramsey. Sam Vokes and he said.

1:01:28 > 1:01:33Lovely little ball from the outside of his left foot, and what Avila is

1:01:33 > 1:01:39doing diving in, I don't know. Lovely touch by Edwards to beat him,

1:01:39 > 1:01:46clear contact. Lovely ball with the outside of the left foot. Best half

1:01:46 > 1:01:51-- press play our behalf, David Brooks. A great opportunity for Sam

1:01:51 > 1:01:56Brooks -- Sam Vokes to score his ninth goal in a Welsh shirt.Sam

1:01:56 > 1:02:03Vokes will take responsibility. Vokes against Penedo. And Penedo is

1:02:03 > 1:02:09up to it and he saves. And he gets congratulations from his team-mates,

1:02:09 > 1:02:19Jamie Penedo used all his experience.Disappointing penalty.

1:02:19 > 1:02:23Doesn't get enough purchase on it. It is a comfortable save the

1:02:23 > 1:02:31goalkeeper in the end.Wales have a goal -- a corner. Lawrence. Away by

1:02:31 > 1:02:35Baloy, and that was a golden opportunity, and nobody will be more

1:02:35 > 1:02:47disappointed than Sam Vokes. Taylor. Cleared away by the defensive ranks

1:02:47 > 1:02:55of Panama. What a chance for Wales. A missed chance, and absolutely

1:02:55 > 1:03:01glorious chance. No real conviction in the penalty for me from Sam. The

1:03:01 > 1:03:08goalkeeper has obviously guessed the right way. He has to gamble. Needs

1:03:08 > 1:03:17to go to his left or right and he made the right choice. As I say, no

1:03:17 > 1:03:26real idea.They have swapped round temporarily. What a chance that was

1:03:26 > 1:03:33for Wales to take the lead. And Vokes will feel he might have left

1:03:33 > 1:03:40his scoring boots at home tonight. Hopefully he is not saving them for

1:03:40 > 1:03:42Saturday against Swansea.He did score in his last appearance for

1:03:42 > 1:03:54Burnley against Southampton.A cracking header as well.Chris

1:03:54 > 1:04:02Gunter, want -- onto Woodburn. Ovalle gets the decision.It is a

1:04:02 > 1:04:08clever header from Chris Gunter, but Ben Woodburn is under pressure and

1:04:08 > 1:04:13he cannot really get the ball down and for me, Chris Gunter, he makes

1:04:13 > 1:04:18the forward Ronan and he just has to bide his time. He could stay where

1:04:18 > 1:04:23he is an Ben Woodburn can gather the ball. By running past, Ben Woodward

1:04:23 > 1:04:30-- Ben Woodburn has no chance whatsoever.Cooper, inside and put

1:04:30 > 1:04:41it across. A mistake by Baloy. He has not made too many of them

1:04:41 > 1:04:50tonight. I suppose he was the obvious one to take it. I think he

1:04:50 > 1:04:57grabbed the ball, Sam Vokes.Is that right?I think he did.I did wonder

1:04:57 > 1:05:04whether Ben Woodburn might think about it. It is normally Aaron

1:05:04 > 1:05:18Ramsey, isn't it? He took the one against Serbia in the summer.

1:05:23 > 1:05:34Lawrence nips in. A mixed bag from Tom Lawrence in the first half. And

1:05:34 > 1:05:41we are approaching half-time and the disappointment will be the Sam Vokes

1:05:41 > 1:05:51penalty. Just one minute of added time to play as Vokes, with the

1:05:51 > 1:05:57header and Escobar did enough.Sam has got to give himself a little bit

1:05:57 > 1:06:01more time. Paul himself slightly deeper in the penalty box. He is

1:06:01 > 1:06:07there as the ball is being crossed in. Give himself for five yards

1:06:07 > 1:06:11further and then attack the ball, rather than being there already. And

1:06:11 > 1:06:19it is a fight against the defender and jump.Touching it back to

1:06:19 > 1:06:31Edwards, puts it to the right for Taylor. Chester. Guns again, and

1:06:31 > 1:06:37wales finishing the first half as they started. -- Chris Gunter again.

1:06:37 > 1:06:45Woodburn is outnumbered. Trying to get the break, Wales, but it won't

1:06:45 > 1:06:48happen, because that is the half-time whistle and Chris Coleman

1:06:48 > 1:06:52will be disappointed because his side have had more chances, the

1:06:52 > 1:06:57better chances and the best chance, for Sam Vokes, from the penalty

1:06:57 > 1:07:05spot, just before the interval but Penedo was equal to that weak spot

1:07:05 > 1:07:08kick from the experienced Sam Vokes and Ethan Ampadu has been pulling

1:07:08 > 1:07:15the strings and the three youngsters, Ampadu, Brooks and

1:07:15 > 1:07:20Woodburn have all caused this Panama team some problems. But they have

1:07:20 > 1:07:27been swift breaking forward as well. So, at half-time, still all to play

1:07:27 > 1:07:37for in an interesting game. 0-0, so let's head to pitch side.Let's talk

1:07:37 > 1:07:42about that opportunity for Wales to go a goal ahead. John, you may stay

1:07:42 > 1:07:47few penalties for Wales, before and it is painful for Sam Vokes, that

1:07:47 > 1:07:52one.It is, but obviously it's a friendly and he would have wanted to

1:07:52 > 1:07:55add to his tally but I liked the build-up, a great little pass from

1:07:55 > 1:08:03David Brooks and certainly a penalty kick, but Sam will be disappointed.

1:08:03 > 1:08:08I felt at the start of the game that we started on top and we were really

1:08:08 > 1:08:13passing the ball well and we allowed them to come back in in the middle

1:08:13 > 1:08:17of the first half, mainly through our errors. Miss timed passes and

1:08:17 > 1:08:23things like that but if the constant -- concentration levels are right

1:08:23 > 1:08:26and we go about this right whale should have enough to win. I don't

1:08:26 > 1:08:32see enough from them, to be honest and we've made an awful lot of

1:08:32 > 1:08:35changes and I think Chris will be fairly happy. It's not a night to be

1:08:35 > 1:08:40critical.Any more changes to come in the second half?I think so.

1:08:40 > 1:08:44Chris will want to give some of the other younger members some minutes

1:08:44 > 1:08:49in the second half and we will see several changes and more people

1:08:49 > 1:08:56coming off the bench.John, we will let you go away to keep Jason Co.

1:08:56 > 1:09:040-0 at half-time, but Wales have had their opportunities.Woodburn in the

1:09:04 > 1:09:12box. A little clip by Woodburn. Across, and looking forward again.

1:09:12 > 1:09:23Shoots, but just wide. Naughty from Ampadu. Lovely ball, Ann Taylor.

1:09:23 > 1:09:29Edwards into the box, and it is a penalty. And Penedo is up, and he

1:09:29 > 1:09:36saves. Lovely moment, and reminding John Hartson of the penalties he

1:09:36 > 1:09:40missed, not mentioning the great goals he scored. I saw him score a

1:09:40 > 1:09:44great volley at the millennium Stadium against Belarus. But

1:09:44 > 1:09:48generally on the performance from Wales?We started quite well and the

1:09:48 > 1:09:53three youngsters have done very well, especially David Brooks. A bit

1:09:53 > 1:10:00of a sticky patch, but they should be ahead going into half-time.How

1:10:00 > 1:10:06composed was Ampadu?He really has showcased a full range of passing,

1:10:06 > 1:10:09clipping it short and hitting a few fantastic ranges of passes and shown

1:10:09 > 1:10:14some real disguise and the performance of an older person, he

1:10:14 > 1:10:19does not look like a 17-year-old, he is pulling the strings and talking

1:10:19 > 1:10:23to others.One thing we can say is that Panama, they have qualified for

1:10:23 > 1:10:26the World Cup but if they defend like this they won't be there too

1:10:26 > 1:10:32long. It is a definite penalty, and Sam Vokes, having a great season for

1:10:32 > 1:10:38Burnley but he does not hit that well.It is a great forward run from

1:10:38 > 1:10:42Dave Edwards, getting into the box, definite penalty and I know Sam

1:10:42 > 1:10:45Vokes will be disappointed not to add to his tally. He has scored

1:10:45 > 1:10:49eight or nine goals for Wales and what a great opportunity to add to

1:10:49 > 1:10:56it. It is a fairly tame penalty, but as you said he wanted to take the

1:10:56 > 1:10:59penalty, picked the ball up and he will look to make up at in the

1:10:59 > 1:11:03second half.Sam Vokes has had a few chances.He has and he'll be pleased

1:11:03 > 1:11:07he's getting the chances that you don't always get that in football

1:11:07 > 1:11:13but he's will be disappointed he's not on the scoresheet. It is a nice

1:11:13 > 1:11:17height, the penalty, but the keeper. When the keeper goes the right way,

1:11:17 > 1:11:21you are in trouble. You'll be disappointed but interesting to see

1:11:21 > 1:11:24how he reacts. A run at the near post, great ball but not enough to

1:11:24 > 1:11:29beat the keeper. This was a good effort, and notch -- nice touch out

1:11:29 > 1:11:32of his feet and that would've been a fantastic goal went in but the wrong

1:11:32 > 1:11:36side of the post.The pleasing thing is he's getting in the right

1:11:36 > 1:11:39position, all you can ask for your strike is to get in the position to

1:11:39 > 1:11:43score and he shown great hand and desire on the first one to get

1:11:43 > 1:11:46across his man and showed quality from distance and if they keep

1:11:46 > 1:11:52creating and being bright he will get more opportunities.Ben

1:11:52 > 1:11:56Woodburn? He's done OK but you can see he is young against this

1:11:56 > 1:12:00experienced back four. They have a lot of caps and experience in them

1:12:00 > 1:12:04and he seems to maybe not be quite strong enough but if you look at

1:12:04 > 1:12:07David Brooks and the way he has beaten players, you can tell he

1:12:07 > 1:12:11plays regularly in the first team, but at that level he's playing

1:12:11 > 1:12:15against strong players and you see him being confident. Ben Woodburn

1:12:15 > 1:12:19has not had that experience and is getting tougher but he will grow

1:12:19 > 1:12:26into the game even more.Some of the quality from Brooks on the left

1:12:26 > 1:12:31boot.Wonderful balls into the box, but the way he drifts in from the

1:12:31 > 1:12:37wing he's not given them opportunity to showcase the skills. And it's

1:12:37 > 1:12:41been a positive 45 minutes and I hope he can continue.The other

1:12:41 > 1:12:46great thing about Ethan Ampadu, at international level, such a young

1:12:46 > 1:12:52man wanting the ball, and how many times did we see him calling for the

1:12:52 > 1:12:56ball from experienced players?It is great to see and as an

1:12:56 > 1:13:00ex-midfielder, that's what I want to see, a young man stepping up,

1:13:00 > 1:13:05enjoying the occasion, and the way he is pulling the strings, you can

1:13:05 > 1:13:09see him pointing and telling people where he wants the ball, and that is

1:13:09 > 1:13:12a really good 45 minutes of football and he will only get better, the

1:13:12 > 1:13:19more minutes he plays. Other than the last two games we have seen a

1:13:19 > 1:13:24real birth of a superstar.Has David Brooks been the shining light?I

1:13:24 > 1:13:32think so.I think so. He's been exciting. I want to see a midfielder

1:13:32 > 1:13:37getting on the ball and playing, and this is good play on his left foot.

1:13:37 > 1:13:41Looking to attack and really make things happen. It's been a really

1:13:41 > 1:13:45positive 45 minutes for the young man.You see some of his crosses

1:13:45 > 1:13:48have not made it but he still wants to do it and get on the ball and

1:13:48 > 1:13:52he's confident. He is comfortable on both feet and we've seen him on both

1:13:52 > 1:13:57sides of the pitch and he's been impressive on both occasions.You

1:13:57 > 1:14:00find that with young players. We spoke about the enthusiasm and

1:14:00 > 1:14:03energy they give you and he's wanted to get on the ball. He is young and

1:14:03 > 1:14:08you do make bad decisions, that the more he plays, he will get more

1:14:08 > 1:14:11consistency and you can see a really good player for the future of Wales.

1:14:11 > 1:14:16John has joined as in the makeshift studio. Just asking you about David

1:14:16 > 1:14:20Brooks Anne Begg will -- Ben Woodburn. The amount of times we saw

1:14:20 > 1:14:26David Brooks tracking back as well. That is part of the job. It's not

1:14:26 > 1:14:29just about going forward. A young player needs to learn that side of

1:14:29 > 1:14:34the game, but in terms of flair and the quality he has got, he stood out

1:14:34 > 1:14:41a mile in terms of being out there and comfortable in his surroundings.

1:14:41 > 1:14:46He has a wonderful left foot and I like him out of the left side

1:14:46 > 1:14:49because he can cut inside and playing in the swinging cross. I

1:14:49 > 1:14:54like the shape of him out wide on the left and Brooks and Ampadu have

1:14:54 > 1:14:59looked comfortable in possession and they had a lot to do and it's been a

1:14:59 > 1:15:04decent half. The errors made have allowed them to come back in the

1:15:04 > 1:15:12game but from the outset we looked like we if we are concentrated and

1:15:12 > 1:15:16organise, we should go on and win the game.Thank you very much indeed

1:15:16 > 1:15:19and lots of sport coming your way on the BBC.

1:15:23 > 1:15:26The Autumn internationals continue on Saturday when Wales welcomed

1:15:26 > 1:15:35Georgia to the principality Stadium. Live coverage begins at 2pm on BBC

1:15:35 > 1:15:47One Wales and S4 C.Shall we get our guests out?After the match we had

1:15:47 > 1:15:56to the club to analyse all the action from the Scrum V Sunday team.

1:15:56 > 1:16:00I wouldn't mind playing alongside him. If he was playing in my era he

1:16:00 > 1:16:05would be cutting up the rugby field. We celebrate Sir Gareth Edwards at

1:16:05 > 1:16:0870, coming soon. We look forward to that. Just a reminder that earlier

1:16:08 > 1:16:15today the Welsh U21 stuck on Romania and it 0-0, not the result that was

1:16:15 > 1:16:18wanted. Let's bring you up-to-date with lots of other football being

1:16:18 > 1:16:22played this evening and we shall reflect in a moment on Italy not

1:16:22 > 1:16:28making the World Cup, for the first time since 1958. We will talk about

1:16:28 > 1:16:31in a moment, but in Dublin, the Republic of Ireland took the lead

1:16:31 > 1:16:35through Shane Duffy and Denmark equalised and Christian Eriksen has

1:16:35 > 1:16:40scored one of the goals of the night, Denmark leading in Dublin.

1:16:40 > 1:16:46England and Brazil 0-0. Germany losing to France is the latest

1:16:46 > 1:16:49score. Let's talk about Denmark being in front and a fantastic start

1:16:49 > 1:16:55from the Republic.They went a goal in front, now they need to score

1:16:55 > 1:16:59another two and I'm sure Martin O'Neill will rally the troops, and

1:16:59 > 1:17:04they need a big 45 minutes. It's not beyond them but I always thought it

1:17:04 > 1:17:09would be difficult night as Denmark got good side and I thought that

1:17:09 > 1:17:14Denmark would cause them problems, which they are doing.Let's talk

1:17:14 > 1:17:19about Italy because some of the papers described it as the worst

1:17:19 > 1:17:21thing that ever happened to their country, and Apocalypse it was

1:17:21 > 1:17:26described.You look at the players in the squad and it will be

1:17:26 > 1:17:30disappointing, the big man between the sticks. And it's disappointing

1:17:30 > 1:17:36to see him bow out, but you have to say fair play to Sweden. In terms of

1:17:36 > 1:17:41a dog-eared, resolute performance, it was a top performance.It will be

1:17:41 > 1:17:45strange next year not seeing Italy. Every World Cup I've ever watched

1:17:45 > 1:17:51they have been in it and they are a team that you first see in any group

1:17:51 > 1:17:56and they are always tough to beat. It will be difficult to see that.

1:17:56 > 1:18:03You look at the Italian group, and even the team we beat in 2003. They

1:18:03 > 1:18:08have matchwinners in Del Piero and Christian Vieri and the like

1:18:08 > 1:18:14sovereigns are gay they did not have a big game player who can score big

1:18:14 > 1:18:17goals at crucial times and I didn't see that type of player there last

1:18:17 > 1:18:22time.When you look at Euro 2016, they were such a difficult side to

1:18:22 > 1:18:27break down and that was largely down to Antonio Conte and people forget

1:18:27 > 1:18:30that they dumped Spain out of there and only lost to Germany on

1:18:30 > 1:18:36penalties.Baluchi, Chiellini, I think they are 3334 and they have

1:18:36 > 1:18:45said that is it. They will retire, I believe.Reflections on the first

1:18:45 > 1:18:49half? It's been tough at times. The early goal will have helped against

1:18:49 > 1:18:53Panama side that start with looked as though they were happy to be here

1:18:53 > 1:18:59and the fans were happy to be here and as the half has gone on they

1:18:59 > 1:19:05have looked more comfortable and Brooks has been showing well. But at

1:19:05 > 1:19:10times it is tough because there are three players around the attackers

1:19:10 > 1:19:14and it can be frustrating. I learning curve that the young

1:19:14 > 1:19:17players that sometimes it is not skipping past the player, you have

1:19:17 > 1:19:25to find another solution and with clever play around the box.Thank

1:19:25 > 1:19:28you very much. Wales have to take advantage of some of these chances.

1:19:28 > 1:19:34They do. They started brightly with a cross from Brooks and this is a

1:19:34 > 1:19:39chance for Sam Vokes, good player and that is Woodburn getting in on

1:19:39 > 1:19:43the back stick, and a decent save from the keeper and I thought that

1:19:43 > 1:19:52was Ian, from what I saw. Brooks again, busy, and that was deflected

1:19:52 > 1:19:55for a corner. And Sam Vokes will be disappointed because as a centre

1:19:55 > 1:20:00forward it's a chance to add to your goal tally and I didn't think he

1:20:00 > 1:20:03struck it that well, but the Panama goalkeeper will say it's a good

1:20:03 > 1:20:09save.They will say he has saved it. He has hit the target and worked the

1:20:09 > 1:20:13keeper but any striker, and we touched on it already it's a real

1:20:13 > 1:20:17chance to add to the tally. To get another one on the board would have

1:20:17 > 1:20:22been great.If we are being balanced, goalkeepers don't get the

1:20:22 > 1:20:25praise the making says. When Sam Vokes hit that, it reminded me of

1:20:25 > 1:20:32the goal you scored for Celtic at Anfield.Was she was further out? I

1:20:32 > 1:20:37can't remember. -- was yours further out?Every time we are in a traffic

1:20:37 > 1:20:42jam I keep being reminded of that. Helan, would you like to see more

1:20:42 > 1:20:46substitutions in the second half?I think it's a good time for the

1:20:46 > 1:20:49players who might have been on the fringe or not stepped up to the

1:20:49 > 1:20:53mark. A good opportunity for them to come in and make their mark and as

1:20:53 > 1:20:58we said at the started building for the future.I genuinely cannot

1:20:58 > 1:21:05believe you said you do not remember it. You always remember it.So very

1:21:05 > 1:21:10humble.So many goals to choose from in the John Hartson collection. Can

1:21:10 > 1:21:14Wales get a late goal or get one straight after half-time? We shall

1:21:14 > 1:21:15find out.

1:21:41 > 1:21:45The Wales team are back out there and there are two substitutions to

1:21:45 > 1:21:55be made half-time. Tom Bradshaw is on for Sam Vokes, and I'm sure that

1:21:55 > 1:21:59is not about the penalty. What a night for Tom Lockey, Cardiff born,

1:21:59 > 1:22:03released from Cardiff City because it was too small and now he is about

1:22:03 > 1:22:10to make his Wales debut and he will be in the heart of the defence in

1:22:10 > 1:22:17place of Ben Davies. He has the little matter of a north London

1:22:17 > 1:22:24derby to think about at the weekend, and Tom Bradshaw, the Barnsley

1:22:24 > 1:22:27striker, his Temm -- second cap having made his debut against

1:22:27 > 1:22:35Ukraine, and there is Tom Lockey, in his hometown city making his Wales

1:22:35 > 1:22:43bow and Tom Bradshaw, his second cap, and another big night for the

1:22:43 > 1:22:53former Aberystwyth town striker. And some of the Aberystwyth people be

1:22:53 > 1:22:57getting -- will be thrilled that Tom Bradshaw is getting a run out. What

1:22:57 > 1:23:02you make of the changes from Chris Coleman?Not surprised. Doing the

1:23:02 > 1:23:05sensible thing, looking after players who have played the majority

1:23:05 > 1:23:11of the game in France, resting legs and they have more important games

1:23:11 > 1:23:16coming up. And a good opportunity for Tom Lockey. He has an

1:23:16 > 1:23:24experienced head with James Chester and it's important he talks to him

1:23:24 > 1:23:29through the second half. Tom Bradshaw, and a big fan. A really

1:23:29 > 1:23:36live wire who comes alive in the box and he sniffs out goals.He has nine

1:23:36 > 1:23:45goals this season for Barnsley has Woodburn. He is on the move. No

1:23:45 > 1:23:53changes in the Panama side. As Taylor takes the throw, the final 45

1:23:53 > 1:24:00minutes of international action in 2017. And then Wales going to enter

1:24:00 > 1:24:10international hibernation. Wales will not be in Russia and then it is

1:24:10 > 1:24:22the league of Nations in 2018. And I'm sure many of these youngsters

1:24:22 > 1:24:32will think they will have big part to play in that.What you think

1:24:32 > 1:24:36Chris Coleman will have said to his side at half-time? He will be happy

1:24:36 > 1:24:42with the they have passed the ball, they have been quick in the past is

1:24:42 > 1:24:47and the end product, that final ball in, apart from David Brooks we have

1:24:47 > 1:24:54not put the best delivery in and it is important. That needs to be

1:24:54 > 1:25:11improved.Scrapping for it, and just tugging the shirt of Ovalle. They

1:25:11 > 1:25:16need to do more than they did in the opening 45 minutes. Winning the

1:25:16 > 1:25:19header, and Chester tidies up for Edwards, threading. Tom Lawrence

1:25:19 > 1:25:28through the middle. This is Brooks. Bradshaw in the middle and he was

1:25:28 > 1:25:34trapped by Baloy, who would not have seen him.He is lively in the box

1:25:34 > 1:25:38and he makes good runs. The ball from Lawrence to Brooks sending him

1:25:38 > 1:25:51slightly wider than he would have liked and he has over hit that one.

1:25:51 > 1:25:57Well defended in the end.

1:25:57 > 1:26:02Well defended in the end.

1:26:02 > 1:26:09Brooks, delivering for Bradshaw. Good defending, good, strong

1:26:09 > 1:26:15defending and anticipating where the ball would end up. That is the sort

1:26:15 > 1:26:34of service he will like, he's not like Sam Vokes.He makes good runs.

1:26:34 > 1:26:47Lucy Brooks again. I wonder how long David Brooks will add to that. He

1:26:47 > 1:26:51has the Sheffield United game at Burton on Friday night so he goes

1:26:51 > 1:26:56from an international to the Pirelli Stadium and maybe Chris has had a

1:26:56 > 1:27:05word with Chris.As King the question, is David likely to start

1:27:05 > 1:27:11against Burton? He could get some real game time under his belt and

1:27:11 > 1:27:19night. I'm sure they would have come to a decision between them.It has

1:27:19 > 1:27:23made four starts in the championship.He has got a goal

1:27:23 > 1:27:29against Leeds United as well.In what was a high end of the table

1:27:29 > 1:27:39clash. And it just looks like he has taken to it, and he has a four-year

1:27:39 > 1:27:47contract. The likes of Liverpool are being linked. A few Premier League

1:27:47 > 1:27:57clubs sniffing about. This is Lockey. -- Lockyer. He is being

1:27:57 > 1:28:06nibbled at by Armando Cooper. Massively more experience in the

1:28:06 > 1:28:12Panama side than the Wales team. You wonder where Panama might be, it's

1:28:12 > 1:28:22the southernmost country in Central America.

1:28:23 > 1:28:30Tom Lawrence. A good run again just sometimes overruns it.Sometimes he

1:28:30 > 1:28:36does not see a past and the pass was there to put it into Neil Taylor and

1:28:36 > 1:28:41a good effort down the left-hand side. Doesn't get his head down

1:28:41 > 1:28:50quick enough for me.Some Panama fancier in the Cardiff City Stadium

1:28:50 > 1:29:03-- fans here. This is Woodburn. Taylor sliding in to Brooks is a

1:29:03 > 1:29:07very good weight on the pass from Neil Taylor into Brooks.Just

1:29:07 > 1:29:10couldn't get the first touch he wanted and was closed down quickly,

1:29:10 > 1:29:24in fairness.Brooks with the corner. Into the second half. Always going

1:29:24 > 1:29:37wide. You are arriving and you don't have time to adjust your body.A bit

1:29:37 > 1:29:46of a glancing header to help it on. Not an easy header to control.What

1:29:46 > 1:29:51is going through his mind? And in the background there, not the man

1:29:51 > 1:29:58wearing the gloves, but the other side is the head of performance, and

1:29:58 > 1:30:05those are the Barry Horne 's. Unmistakable. It depends which Barry

1:30:05 > 1:30:12Horne you bump into, which club you need to talk about. But they do all

1:30:12 > 1:30:28support Wales. Bradshaw. Edwards. Chris Gunter once it wide. Coming in

1:30:28 > 1:30:43a little deeper.

1:30:43 > 1:30:49The sort of patient build-up you need at international love Phil --

1:30:49 > 1:30:57level. Woodburn being held, and the referee sees it.He turned him.

1:30:57 > 1:31:02Murillo dragged him down. Great crossfield pass from that right-hand

1:31:02 > 1:31:07side. Lovely first touch by Ben Woodburn. Neil Taylor would be wise

1:31:07 > 1:31:16not to mess with them. Remember, Panama is the country that brought

1:31:16 > 1:31:25us Roberto Duran.It is going to be a booking for Armando Cooper.

1:31:29 > 1:31:32That has got the crowd going!

1:31:36 > 1:31:45A few handbags. It will be Woodburn with this free kick. Plenty of red

1:31:45 > 1:31:50shirts in the Panama penalty area.

1:31:54 > 1:32:02What has the referee seen here? Bart Vertenten...A quiet game so far but

1:32:02 > 1:32:06I think there was a coming together, Edwards and Perez in that six yard

1:32:06 > 1:32:11box.WHISTLE So, Woodburn with the free kick,

1:32:11 > 1:32:24headed away by Blas Perez. Lawrence takes no chances.When you're under

1:32:24 > 1:32:31pressure and you only have Chris Gunter, one of the Panama forward

1:32:31 > 1:32:36getting to Chris Gunter, you have to go all the way back home.Gunter on

1:32:36 > 1:32:42soft side but it won't be given. Gabriel Torres is in here. Ward with

1:32:42 > 1:32:53the save. Torres blocked by Gunter and very tidy up. He has to carry

1:32:53 > 1:32:56on, the linesman has put the flag up.You have to play until you hear

1:32:56 > 1:33:01that whistle. You can't stand still on hold your hands up. You have to

1:33:01 > 1:33:05get back, that was a great chance, an absolutely great chance for

1:33:05 > 1:33:09Torres to score. If he doesn't have a heavy touch right at the end, I

1:33:09 > 1:33:12think he puts Panama 1-0 up. There is no point arguing with the

1:33:12 > 1:33:18referee. I thought the linesman was going to put his arm up at one stage

1:33:18 > 1:33:22but decided to keep it down. Still having a go at the linesman, Chris

1:33:22 > 1:33:28Gunter.This is Gabriel Thomas. This is the touch that maybe let him

1:33:28 > 1:33:35down. Gunter did well in the end. Chris did ever so well in the end to

1:33:35 > 1:33:43get himself back.Gunter did the rest. There would have been red

1:33:43 > 1:33:48faces to go with the red shirts and Torres had scored then!A bit tasty,

1:33:48 > 1:33:52now. A little scrappy.

1:34:01 > 1:34:08Getting a bit tetchy in the technical area, as well. Chris

1:34:08 > 1:34:14Coleman is not happy. Maybe the psychologist Ian Mitchell, who is

1:34:14 > 1:34:21just behind him to the right of your screen, maybe he could have a word.

1:34:21 > 1:34:23Doctor Ian Mitchell, sorry.

1:34:27 > 1:34:32Still goalless.

1:34:32 > 1:34:38Still goalless. But pretty spiky, all of a sudden. Woodburn doesn't

1:34:38 > 1:34:41shirk any challenge.

1:34:46 > 1:34:53Hernan Dario Gomez, recalling that David Beckham free kick which

1:34:53 > 1:34:59effectively knocked Colombia out of the World Cup. Kept saying last

1:34:59 > 1:35:03night, England are a good side but they always seem to lose it when

1:35:03 > 1:35:07they get to World Cup finals. Who knows, they could be facing England

1:35:07 > 1:35:13in Russia. Gunter for Wales. Brooks.

1:35:22 > 1:35:28Flicking it back to Chester. Probably marshalling the defence

1:35:28 > 1:35:34now, alongside the debutant Tom Lockyer. Neil Taylor, looking for

1:35:34 > 1:35:39the run of Bradshaw.Just the wrong side of Bradshaw, that all by Neil

1:35:39 > 1:35:47Taylor. He was always favourite, Baloy. Done well down this

1:35:47 > 1:35:52right-hand side. They are quite happy, Panama. They are sitting

1:35:52 > 1:35:56deep, they won't get drawn out, they are going to keep their discipline.

1:35:56 > 1:36:02They will be delighted with a 0-0 here in the Cardiff City Stadium.

1:36:02 > 1:36:10The referee allows play to go on. WHISTLE

1:36:10 > 1:36:15Head injury, isn't it?

1:36:21 > 1:36:27He doesn't look to be holding his head.He looks to be holding his

1:36:27 > 1:36:39chest, if anything. And it was Manuel Vargas. That is a painful

1:36:39 > 1:36:46one. It will knock the wind out of you. But not a reason to stop play.

1:36:51 > 1:37:01He is up. A bit of a coaching Conference on the side. Taking an

1:37:01 > 1:37:07refreshment. 49th game tonight for Chris Coleman. He has won 19, drawn

1:37:07 > 1:37:1512, lost 17. Vargas is ready to go back on, once Wales take control of

1:37:15 > 1:37:21the drop ball, which Gunter does. Playing it back towards but sees

1:37:21 > 1:37:27Brooks as an option. Vargas is now back on.Of the 17 games his loss,

1:37:27 > 1:37:3211 have been friendlies?Yes, doesn't have a great record in

1:37:32 > 1:37:39friendlies. This is the 13th friendly and he has won two of the

1:37:39 > 1:37:48previous 12. Ampadu Tom Lawrence. Baloy will come away with it.

1:37:56 > 1:38:09Ward clears. Taylor. In the Ayr Bay Murillo. -- in the air by Murillo.

1:38:09 > 1:38:18Looks like Evans is about to enter the fray for his debut. On loan at

1:38:18 > 1:38:22Wigan at the moment from Wolves.

1:38:24 > 1:38:39Ampadu. In four Bradshaw. Escobar... The referee had a good look.Have to

1:38:39 > 1:38:45see that one again... Ampadu spots his run. I tell you what, it was a

1:38:45 > 1:38:49nudge in the back all day long, all day long. How on earth as the

1:38:49 > 1:38:55referee not seen that?He was right there, wasn't he? Brooks cuts

1:38:55 > 1:39:01inside, Bradshaw. Lovely ball to Ampadu. Ampadu goes one way and then

1:39:01 > 1:39:07the other.Disappointing cross. He had a chance to put it in slightly

1:39:07 > 1:39:19earlier, Rob.Good steel by Bradshaw, touch to Woodburn. Wales,

1:39:19 > 1:39:30good pressure by Chris Coleman's side. And another memorable night

1:39:30 > 1:39:36for Lee Evans. Dave Edwards makes way from the heart of that midfield.

1:39:36 > 1:39:45Lee Evans completes the set. He has played semiprofessional football and

1:39:45 > 1:39:51for Wales U21s and now he has a senior cap. It is a memorable night

1:39:51 > 1:39:56for him stop here I've seen him on a couple of occasions in the gold

1:39:56 > 1:40:01shirt for Wolves, and he's impressed me.Good passing range, good energy,

1:40:01 > 1:40:07box to box. He will keep things nice and simple, won't try over

1:40:07 > 1:40:16complicate things.Lee Evans. Here he is again. Forward to Gunter. This

1:40:16 > 1:40:24is Brooks. Trying to flick it through.

1:40:30 > 1:40:39Just past the hour mark, still looking for the first goal.Taylor

1:40:39 > 1:40:48was trying to force things there. This is Gabriel Torres. Lockyer

1:40:48 > 1:40:55sliding in. It breaks for Blas Perez. The forward once more. --

1:40:55 > 1:40:57wanting more.

1:41:05 > 1:41:10Had that penalty gone in... It's all ifs and buts, it doesn't matter, but

1:41:10 > 1:41:14they would have had to come out more in the second half and threw caution

1:41:14 > 1:41:20to the wind. The more attacking anyway than in the first half,

1:41:20 > 1:41:24Panama, that penalty gone in. We might have been able to capitalise

1:41:24 > 1:41:28on that. At the minute the score is 0-0, and they will be happy.Taylor

1:41:28 > 1:41:37into Woodburn. Lawrence wants it short. A lovely ball to Gunter.

1:41:37 > 1:41:41Evans thought about pulling the trigger but instead sees Brooks in

1:41:41 > 1:41:47space. Didn't work out for David Brooks that time. You can see what

1:41:47 > 1:41:51he was trying to do, bent on in the top corner.Lee Evans bouncy debt.

1:41:51 > 1:41:55His first touch meant it was a sloppy one, that he couldn't get his

1:41:55 > 1:42:06shot goal. Disappointing, the final effort.Gabriel Torres, who trained

1:42:06 > 1:42:11twice with Manchester United in the past, is replaced by Ismael Diaz.

1:42:11 > 1:42:20There are the Panama funds, pleased for Ismael Diaz, who plays in Spain.

1:42:20 > 1:42:26Did you notice the Panama fans weren't wearing Panama hats?That is

1:42:26 > 1:42:30because they originated in Ecuador, not Panama.You have done your

1:42:30 > 1:42:38homework for this game! To be fair, you always do.

1:42:42 > 1:42:48Ismael Diaz, one of the rising stars of Panamanian football.A sloppy

1:42:48 > 1:42:53pass from James Chester.Cooper.

1:42:57 > 1:43:03Going forward with Avila inside, to Cooper. It is a good run. The ball

1:43:03 > 1:43:10will go out for a corner... I think it will.Good strong run down the

1:43:10 > 1:43:13left-hand side by Cooper. Chris Gunter got himself back and made

1:43:13 > 1:43:18sure Cooper couldn't cross that ball but had to concede the corner.This

1:43:18 > 1:43:23is another opportunity for Panama. They work hard on their set pieces.

1:43:23 > 1:43:29As you say, Tories the defender, Raphael is first name, he isn't

1:43:29 > 1:43:32playing, he is a real threat from corner kicks. -- Torres the

1:43:32 > 1:43:38defender. It is Avila with this corner.

1:43:40 > 1:43:44Baloy picks it up.

1:43:50 > 1:43:55Andrew Crofts ready to come on for Wales as well. Good take from

1:43:55 > 1:44:03Escobar, forward from the back. Not a bad cross, either. WHISTLE

1:44:03 > 1:44:19Lockyer fouled. Time for a change, then. Juan Vargas is coming on for

1:44:19 > 1:44:26Ricardo Abbey are -- Ricardo Avila.

1:44:33 > 1:44:42And once Avila has made his way off, Wales will make a change. The first

1:44:42 > 1:44:54start for Ethan Ampadu ends up at 67 minutes. Ethan Ampadu getting warm

1:44:54 > 1:44:57applause from the crowd at the Cardiff City Stadium. They have seen

1:44:57 > 1:45:02a glimpse of the future and they like what they see.And rightly so.

1:45:02 > 1:45:07I noticed a couple of minutes ago he was stretching his right hamstring.

1:45:07 > 1:45:12Whether he has a tightness in that hamstring that has forced Chris to

1:45:12 > 1:45:18take him off... But once again, it has been aim at your performance by

1:45:18 > 1:45:22Ampadu in that middle of the park, beyond his years, to be fair. He has

1:45:22 > 1:45:28kept things simple. He has knocked a couple of outstanding passes out of

1:45:28 > 1:45:34his own half, down both right and left wings. Once again, he can be

1:45:34 > 1:45:39delighted with his contribution. Bradshaw does well to hold off

1:45:39 > 1:45:45Escobar and make sure that is shepherded out for a corner.

1:45:49 > 1:45:52Chester is up from the back.

1:45:55 > 1:46:00As Liverpool

1:46:00 > 1:46:05As Liverpool 's then Woodburn prepares to take the kick. Not a bad

1:46:05 > 1:46:08one. Chester was the target, and he's off target with the header.

1:46:08 > 1:46:15Free head for James Chester, he will be disappointed. James Chester rises

1:46:15 > 1:46:20higher than anyone, loses his marker, attacks the ball. Just can't

1:46:20 > 1:46:25guide his header goalwards.

1:46:31 > 1:46:41More changes in the offing, as well. Another for Panama. It looks like

1:46:41 > 1:46:48Buitrago is coming on. He plays in Baru. Taylor, for Wales. -- he

1:46:48 > 1:46:52played in Peru. Lockyer.

1:46:57 > 1:47:02Lawrence.

1:47:02 > 1:47:11Lawrence. You can't dwell on the ball, they will snap at your heels.

1:47:11 > 1:47:17Crofts. The run of Brooks. A decent ball by the Scunthorpe player.

1:47:17 > 1:47:20Nearly a great ball, spotted the run of Brooks down the right-hand side.

1:47:20 > 1:47:25In the penalty box.

1:47:28 > 1:47:35Ricardo Buitrago will replace Manuel Vargas. WHISTLE

1:47:46 > 1:47:51We will have to wait for this corner to be taken whilst the referees

1:47:51 > 1:47:58sorts out a bit of argy-bargy in this six yard box with David Brooks.

1:48:05 > 1:48:11Marley Watkins and Brian Hedges waiting to come on for putt.Ricardo

1:48:11 > 1:48:19Buitrago comes on for Manuel Vargas. And Wales make a change and David

1:48:19 > 1:48:28Brooks is off and Marley Watkins becomes the latest debutant for

1:48:28 > 1:48:35Wales. The Norwich striker. What an ovation for David Brooks.

1:48:45 > 1:48:54And Woodburn's night is over, too. Brian Hedges is coming on for Wales.

1:48:54 > 1:48:59-- Ryan. Brooks has deftly caught the eye, especially first half. His

1:48:59 > 1:49:02performance in the second-half hasn't reached the heights it did in

1:49:02 > 1:49:06the first, in that opening 45 minutes. I thought he was by far far

1:49:06 > 1:49:13our best player.The ball comes in, Chester was impeded. Lawrence... The

1:49:13 > 1:49:18idea was right that he had a lot of players to get it over, your four of

1:49:18 > 1:49:25them.Got himself in a position to try and bend it into the top corner.

1:49:25 > 1:49:32Got the technique but not quite perfect. Once again, it's a

1:49:32 > 1:49:48comfortable second half for Jaime Penedo.Hedges plays the Barnsley.

1:49:48 > 1:49:54And Marley Watkins takes a tumble in no uncertain terms.Did well, got to

1:49:54 > 1:50:02the ball first. Got past Escobar. Quite clumsy with his challenge.

1:50:06 > 1:50:14So you have seen more of Marley Watkins ban myself, Iwan.-- than

1:50:14 > 1:50:17myself. Very hard worker, industrious player. Started the

1:50:17 > 1:50:26season for Norwich.Free kick... Bradshaw. He does get in the right

1:50:26 > 1:50:33places, Tom Bradshaw.He can sniff a chance, he can sniff a chance. Very

1:50:33 > 1:50:38lively, makes good brands, always on the move. He is one of these

1:50:38 > 1:50:41players, he reacts to things and balls dropped to him in the penalty

1:50:41 > 1:50:47box. He gathers, makes good decisions.

1:50:54 > 1:51:00So, the three new starters, Woodburn, Ampadu and Brooks have all

1:51:00 > 1:51:04gone off. You have to say, they will play big parts in the future.Most

1:51:04 > 1:51:09definitely, absolutely most definitely.Bradshaw is strong,

1:51:09 > 1:51:15Gunter is ever going strong. A competitive run by Chris Gunter.

1:51:15 > 1:51:20Baloy didn't know where that was going.He knew Bradshaw was behind

1:51:20 > 1:51:24him, couldn't afford to let the ball past him and sliced it horribly for

1:51:24 > 1:51:27a corner in the end.

1:51:32 > 1:51:36That's the thing, whoever is in charge of the national team, got to

1:51:36 > 1:51:41get those boys capped in a professional game.Penedo was

1:51:41 > 1:51:46decisive that time, just about got there. Had to get through a crowd of

1:51:46 > 1:51:48bodies, but did so.

1:51:54 > 1:52:01That was then a must buy Leslie Heraldez. Must have seen someone he

1:52:01 > 1:52:06didn't like in the crowd!He did not hold back there.

1:52:08 > 1:52:12Lockyer. Chester.

1:52:17 > 1:52:21They are sending plenty of people forward, Wales, looking for the

1:52:21 > 1:52:22breakthrough.

1:52:29 > 1:52:33Another change in the offing for Panama.

1:52:33 > 1:52:39Lawrence picks up the loose ball. What can he do? Cuts into the box,

1:52:39 > 1:52:44still going Tom Lawrence. What a goal from Tom Lawrence to make the

1:52:44 > 1:52:52breakthrough! Did it all himself, deserves that applause. Chris

1:52:52 > 1:52:59Coleman sees what the future can hold. It's 1-0 to Wales!It's a

1:52:59 > 1:53:03magnificent finish in the end. He keeps his head. He knows what he

1:53:03 > 1:53:07wants to do, and it's a clinical finish. He picks the ball up inside

1:53:07 > 1:53:13the Panama box half, runs at defenders and had to stop when he is

1:53:13 > 1:53:18at full pace. As I said, he was so cool, kept his head, beat a couple

1:53:18 > 1:53:22of defenders, knew where he wanted to put the ball. Absolutely great

1:53:22 > 1:53:27goal by Tom Lawrence. That's what he's capable of! Didn't panic, Rob,

1:53:27 > 1:53:29didn't panic.

1:53:40 > 1:53:47Jose Gonzalez is on for Panama. If they are serious about doing

1:53:47 > 1:53:50something in this game, they will have two come forward now. I think

1:53:50 > 1:53:53Tom Lawrence shows the value of persistence. He has had plenty of

1:53:53 > 1:53:59those runs, he kept making them and we knew he could score. He scored a

1:53:59 > 1:54:03beauty in Georgia, and that was terrific as well. He did it all

1:54:03 > 1:54:10himself. Wales 1-0, in what might be Chris Coleman's final game as Wales

1:54:10 > 1:54:19boss. We will get the view of John Hartson in a moment, who is on the

1:54:19 > 1:54:25touchline with Catherine. A chance here for an equaliser! Blas Perez

1:54:25 > 1:54:28foiled by Danny Ward, who acted quickly and certainly reacted

1:54:28 > 1:54:34quicker than Blas Perez.An awkward one for Tom Locklear to deal with.

1:54:34 > 1:54:40Just caught him unaware, and he should be expecting the board or

1:54:40 > 1:54:49write to him. Good awareness by the goalkeeper, Danny Ward.Driven out

1:54:49 > 1:54:54to Hedges. Looking for Bradshaw! The two Barnsley players almost combines

1:54:54 > 1:55:05beautifully then. -- almost combined beautifully then. And suddenly,

1:55:05 > 1:55:09Wales I wouldn't say bossing the game, they almost conceded, but they

1:55:09 > 1:55:13have the upper hand. Let's go down to Catherine who is with John

1:55:13 > 1:55:18Hartson.We're just trying to catch our breath here. Let's talk about

1:55:18 > 1:55:21the Wales goal, a fantastic shot by Tom Lawrence and some really hard

1:55:21 > 1:55:26work by him.It was. To be fair to Tom Lawrence whenever he has got the

1:55:26 > 1:55:29ball to my, he's tried to entertain and take players on, be very

1:55:29 > 1:55:35positive. Here we go again. Wales break into the box. Nearly! A

1:55:35 > 1:55:38wonderful goal from Tom Lawrence, got onto the ball quickly, cut

1:55:38 > 1:55:43inside and a great finish.Thank you, John.Thought he was taking my

1:55:43 > 1:55:51job then!Well done John Hartson, you have a future job ahead of you.

1:55:51 > 1:55:5713,700, just over here. They enjoyed that Tom Lawrence goal and there may

1:55:57 > 1:56:02be more in the offing for Wales. They are starting to turn the screw.

1:56:02 > 1:56:08An unlikely looking Wales line-up, unfamiliar to say the least. Looking

1:56:08 > 1:56:14to make this a decisive win, rather than a narrow win. Remember, Sam

1:56:14 > 1:56:17Vokes missed the penalty in the first half. But Panama are looking

1:56:17 > 1:56:25to rescue something here. Murillo is forward again. A good cross in, Blas

1:56:25 > 1:56:29Perez looking for the spectacular book but not to be.Well picked up

1:56:29 > 1:56:34by Murillo but made a complete hash of it. Chris Gunter caught slightly

1:56:34 > 1:56:47out of position. Panama right back Murillo with a great cross. He has

1:56:47 > 1:56:55got himself forward well, hasn't he? He started off at San Francisco, not

1:56:55 > 1:57:00the American San Francisco but the Panama San Francisco club.

1:57:00 > 1:57:08Lockyer. He has settled in nicely. Crofts. Foreword by Lee Evans...

1:57:08 > 1:57:12Into the box. WHISTLE Just a little nudge by Marley

1:57:12 > 1:57:18Watkins.A really good run by Watkins and his pointed to Lee Evans

1:57:18 > 1:57:22where he wants the ball, in between the left-back & Har. The ball just

1:57:22 > 1:57:28gives the centre-half an opportunity to get himself across Escobar and

1:57:28 > 1:57:33Shepherd that ball in the end. But it was a good run by Marley Watkins.

1:57:33 > 1:57:38He could have got himself onto that ball.

1:57:50 > 1:57:55He will be happy, content, if Wales lead this game out, even if it is

1:57:55 > 1:58:00his last. They still have work to do. As I said, very unfamiliar Wales

1:58:00 > 1:58:07line-up. A long-range shot, going wide from Ismael Diaz. Pushing men

1:58:07 > 1:58:10forward now though, aren't they, Panama? Trying to get the equalising

1:58:10 > 1:58:21goal. There is Chris Coleman, contemplating what is to come.

1:58:27 > 1:58:32So there are some of the backroom staff, Kit Symons with the beard,

1:58:32 > 1:58:40and Tony Roberts, the goalkeeping coach. John Carlin, the physio also

1:58:40 > 1:58:46there, he is full-time. Chris Coleman also wants the psychologist

1:58:46 > 1:58:53Ian Mitchell to go full-time.The thing is, I think he's got every

1:58:53 > 1:59:01right to ask for his staff to get full-time contracts. They can go

1:59:01 > 1:59:07away, they can watch players. The goal-scorer Lawrence on the ball

1:59:07 > 1:59:12again. He's been really hungry for work tonight. Has always worked out

1:59:12 > 1:59:18for him. Crofts caught in possession, Diaz lays off to Blas

1:59:18 > 1:59:21Perez. WHISTLE I suspect that will be a yellow for

1:59:21 > 1:59:30Andrew Crofts.That is a tackle, he likes them, Crofts. He was late. He

1:59:30 > 1:59:35was arguing his case he won the ball. He was given an opportunity,

1:59:35 > 1:59:38and I've seen it again in slow motion, I think his unlucky... He's

1:59:38 > 1:59:47not unlucky, to be fair, no contact with the ball. Yeah, yeah.

1:59:47 > 1:59:50Unexpected booking in an unexpected cap.

2:00:02 > 2:00:07Watkins, looks a strong, powerful runner. Bradshaw pulls wide,

2:00:07 > 2:00:11Lawrence Thomas middle, Hedges rushing to get there. Bradshaw may

2:00:11 > 2:00:20look for Hedges or maybe even look to catch Penedo out.

2:00:20 > 2:00:22Normally when forwards get themselves in that kind of area down

2:00:22 > 2:00:26the left or the right, they always put a good delivery in, but not that

2:00:26 > 2:00:30time by Tom Bradshaw.No.

2:00:34 > 2:00:42Donta Woods wise to that. Watkins, of Norwich City. -- Watkins

2:00:42 > 2:00:48was wise to that. Lee Evans on the ball again. Lawrence, the

2:00:48 > 2:00:56goal-scorer. Making all the difference at the moment. And if it

2:00:56 > 2:01:00is a swansong, then Coleman will want to go out with a win, no doubt

2:01:00 > 2:01:02about that. He's been really professional in the last couple of

2:01:02 > 2:01:03weeks.

2:01:10 > 2:01:13To be fair, I wouldn't expect anything less from Chris in the

2:01:13 > 2:01:17approach to the game, he wouldn't talk about his future. That takes

2:01:17 > 2:01:21care of itself, he wanted to concentrate on his players being

2:01:21 > 2:01:26fully focused on the job in hand. Having lost the previous two games,

2:01:26 > 2:01:36he wants to get back to winning ways and get a good performance. Good

2:01:36 > 2:01:40opportunities to players against Panama. Many debuts being made. The

2:01:40 > 2:01:53clean sheet, they can see it through now.Cooper. Cooper again. Bradshaw.

2:01:53 > 2:02:04He nicked that one away. Then he now is flat on his backside. Tumbled by

2:02:04 > 2:02:08the captain, Baloy, who has played in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico and

2:02:08 > 2:02:15was linked with Derby County a few years ago. And he also holds Mexican

2:02:15 > 2:02:23citizenship. 99 caps for Panama and I think he might have made his

2:02:23 > 2:02:34choice.It seems that way.Don't forget, on BBC radio Wales at the

2:02:34 > 2:02:39final whistle, there is based sports phone in. Nathan Blake and Kevin

2:02:39 > 2:02:48Ratcliffe will be there. Hedges get into the box. Maybe a chance for

2:02:48 > 2:02:58crafts. He misses it. Penedo saves. Holding it up again.A really good

2:02:58 > 2:03:03run down the left-hand side, and a great pass to feed him in. And a

2:03:03 > 2:03:10thunderous right footed shot. Decent save by the goalkeeper. Plenty of

2:03:10 > 2:03:19power, hitting it first time. Thought he had scored.That would

2:03:19 > 2:03:28have been his second goal for Wales as he scored against Malta in 2005.

2:03:28 > 2:03:31Crafts, an unexpected booking, cap, and almost an unexpected gold --

2:03:31 > 2:03:36crofts.Straight at the goalkeeper.

2:03:42 > 2:03:49Lee Evans Woodcote Corner for Wales as they look for a second -- with

2:03:49 > 2:03:58the corner. Taylor is there to collect the loose ball and he drives

2:03:58 > 2:04:12it at the chest of Buitrago. This time Wales not in need of help, this

2:04:12 > 2:04:18is celebratory singing.

2:04:20 > 2:04:29Evans, and hedges has pulled out wide.He looks confident boy,

2:04:29 > 2:04:39doesn't he? Hedges on this left-hand side. Lovely first touch there.Tom

2:04:39 > 2:04:52Lawrence booked for the tug back on the shirt on Armando Cooper. Another

2:04:52 > 2:05:01change the Panama. Alfredo Stevens on for Blas Perez, who has been a

2:05:01 > 2:05:10handful. Probably should have scored.He was the most likely,

2:05:10 > 2:05:11wasn't he?

2:05:23 > 2:05:29You always have to remember with Panama, they don't need a ball

2:05:29 > 2:05:41across the line for a goal, as they showed against Costa Rica. And in a

2:05:41 > 2:05:44few minutes, Ewan Roberts, we will ask you to declare the Wales Man of

2:05:44 > 2:05:46the Match.

2:05:54 > 2:06:05Tom Lawrence the goal-scorer, separating the sides. Pulled back by

2:06:05 > 2:06:16Hedges, still on a yellow. -- could be a yellow.Could be.Not much

2:06:16 > 2:06:20difference with what just happened with Tom Lawrence. A free kick to

2:06:20 > 2:06:25Panama. Buitrago with it.

2:06:33 > 2:06:38Danger

2:06:38 > 2:06:43Danger for Wales Wales wanting to keep a free -- clean sheet, and they

2:06:43 > 2:06:56will do that with more free kicks like that.

2:07:08 > 2:07:15Is it Chris Gunter or is it Diaz. Yes, that is Chris Gunter. Very,

2:07:15 > 2:07:32very high.On the top of his right leg.

2:07:33 > 2:07:35Diaz is across there.

2:07:47 > 2:07:55Gonzalez has joined the Welsh wall. It is driven across, straight into

2:07:55 > 2:08:05the midriff, into Escobar.Danny Ward property glad to have something

2:08:05 > 2:08:18to do. Not too many occasions to night.Four minutes of added time to

2:08:18 > 2:08:20play.

2:08:23 > 2:08:30One the Man of the Match?Put us out of our misery. They're having good

2:08:30 > 2:08:42performances. Just not yet.I think Ampadu has done so well. I have to

2:08:42 > 2:08:45go the David Brooks for his first half performance. I thought he was

2:08:45 > 2:08:53outstanding.So, David Brooks Sheffield United is Man of the Match

2:08:53 > 2:09:00on his first Wales start and he will be forever indebted to you, Ewan

2:09:00 > 2:09:15Roberts.Is he old enough to drink champagne?Yes, he is OK. So, just

2:09:15 > 2:09:21confirmation. Not a scintilla of emotion. Not even a smile.Joe

2:09:21 > 2:09:25Ledley says, is that you? Oh, there is a hint of a smile. There we go.

2:09:25 > 2:09:31That is more like it. That first half he was excellent, he really,

2:09:31 > 2:09:37really was. Looked a real handful. He did get Man of the Match in the

2:09:37 > 2:09:50steel city derby as well. He will feel, Watkins, that maybe his debut

2:09:50 > 2:09:55should have been celebrated with a goal.I think Beloit gets himself

2:09:55 > 2:10:01back and just does enough to stop Marlee Watkins getting the shot on

2:10:01 > 2:10:10target -- Baloy.He is a big unit to get it over, Baloy. Two minutes of

2:10:10 > 2:10:21added time to play, Wales leading 1-0 and Tom Lawrence with the goal.

2:10:21 > 2:10:24What have you made Panama, looking ahead to the World Cup? Remember

2:10:24 > 2:10:29they are missing some key players.I don't think they will cause too many

2:10:29 > 2:10:39upsets in Russia. But they have done brilliant to get there.

2:10:45 > 2:10:49If they can nick the points of somebody somewhere, they would be

2:10:49 > 2:11:01delighted.That there could be in injury time goal on here. It is

2:11:01 > 2:11:10Armando Cooper. Cooper gets the goal for Panama, and spoils Chris

2:11:10 > 2:11:18Coleman's game. Spoils the night for the Wales manager. If it is his last

2:11:18 > 2:11:21game, he wanted to go out with a win, but his defensive line was

2:11:21 > 2:11:34undone.Too many players watching the ball, nobody tracking the run.

2:11:34 > 2:11:40It is a cool finish in the end, taking his time, picking his spot.

2:11:40 > 2:11:46Someone has to drag him. Nobody goes with him. -- track him. Completely

2:11:46 > 2:11:50unmarked and a good finish in the end by Cooper.

2:11:56 > 2:11:59That has rather punctured it.

2:12:03 > 2:12:15And her Nan Gomez is a very happy man. -- Hernan Gomez. It looks like

2:12:15 > 2:12:19they are going to get something here unless there is a late twist.

2:12:29 > 2:12:36Does Danny Ward fancy going up?Not much time left now. Danny Ward is

2:12:36 > 2:12:40the only player in the Welsh half as the ball is played in. Again, Penedo

2:12:40 > 2:12:55does enough. Panama secure a draw at what could be Chris,'s final game at

2:12:55 > 2:13:01the helm for Wales. He has plenty of thinking to do. He went for use with

2:13:01 > 2:13:05Ethan Ampadu, Tom Lawrence getting the goal which looked as though it

2:13:05 > 2:13:12could give Wales the victory. -- with youth. But that man, Armando

2:13:12 > 2:13:19Cooper struck late on, but Chris Coleman applauded all around, but I

2:13:19 > 2:13:30just wonder how significant that may be. Kris Commons heads down the

2:13:30 > 2:13:36tunnel. We will hear from him later -- Chris Coleman. David Brooks, the

2:13:36 > 2:13:39Wales Man of the Match, hope for the future, but you wonder how much

2:13:39 > 2:13:46Chris Coleman has seen to convince him.He has seen probably enough. A

2:13:46 > 2:13:54couple of things that he needs to discuss, sit down and discuss with

2:13:54 > 2:13:58the FA of Wales, and some things he needs to iron out. He has given

2:13:58 > 2:14:00plenty of youngsters an opportunity here to night and some have caught

2:14:00 > 2:14:05the eye. He will be disappointed with the goal we have conceded,

2:14:05 > 2:14:11right at the death. A clean sheet wins you the game. That was the

2:14:11 > 2:14:21problem. You cannot read much into him coming on and applauding the

2:14:21 > 2:14:24fans for their support to night. It is something Chris has always done

2:14:24 > 2:14:33to show his appreciation.Ben Woodburn can be happy with his

2:14:33 > 2:14:41night's work. We will see plenty more of him. How significant is that

2:14:41 > 2:14:44recognition of the fans from Chris Coleman?

2:14:51 > 2:14:55After a 1-1 draw, let's go down to Helen, who has Tom Lawrence with

2:14:55 > 2:15:01her.Tom, I can imagine it was disappointing to concede in the

2:15:01 > 2:15:05dying moments. Let's talk about the positives, your goal, your second

2:15:05 > 2:15:09for your country, can you talk this through it?The ball fell nice for

2:15:09 > 2:15:12me on the touchline and I kept going and cut inside and got it away in

2:15:12 > 2:15:18the end. Disappointing to concede a goal at the end, but a great

2:15:18 > 2:15:21experience for the young lads today. Talk to us about the youngsters. A

2:15:21 > 2:15:26very different looking Wales side out there, but did it feel good with

2:15:26 > 2:15:30the next generation on the pitch? Yes, we entertained the fans and the

2:15:30 > 2:15:34young lads coming through, they were different class so bright future for

2:15:34 > 2:15:39Wales Tom, thank you very much.Tom Lawrence there, his second goal for

2:15:39 > 2:15:45his country. And it seem like Wales were on the victory but it has

2:15:45 > 2:15:47finished 1-1.

2:16:00 > 2:16:03A very disappointing night for Sam Vokes

2:16:03 > 2:16:05A very disappointing night for Sam Vokes and for a disappointing end

2:16:05 > 2:16:09with Wales conceding in the dying moments. Tom Lawrence took his goal

2:16:09 > 2:16:14very well. John Hartson, thoughts on Mac? Terrific stuff from Tom

2:16:14 > 2:16:22Lawrence and some of the young players -- thoughts on that?Cutting

2:16:22 > 2:16:27inside, wonderful finish, a powerful shot to the left of the keeper. The

2:16:27 > 2:16:33keeper had no chance. I don't think the late goal, the crowd might be

2:16:33 > 2:16:36disappointed, but the amount of changes he made it almost turned

2:16:36 > 2:16:40into a nonentity. He was giving every single young player they

2:16:40 > 2:16:46debut, if you like. It is the timing of the goal, slight disappointment.

2:16:46 > 2:16:55And Rob was saying about how much of a bearing it might have, Chris

2:16:55 > 2:16:59clapping the fans. I don't think to night 's result, even the way he

2:16:59 > 2:17:03left the pitch, he always does that. I don't think it has any bearing on

2:17:03 > 2:17:10his decision. There are things to sort out with the FA of Wales and a

2:17:10 > 2:17:15few of Chris's staff. In terms of what he sees, his younger players

2:17:15 > 2:17:20and he has with that experience, they will be better for what they

2:17:20 > 2:17:25have gone through. For me there are still one or two decisions to make

2:17:25 > 2:17:30on Chris's part but I don't think to night has any bearing on his

2:17:30 > 2:17:33decision.He holds all of the cards. The fans have been and made their

2:17:33 > 2:17:40feelings clear. Everybody wants him to stay and that the end of the day

2:17:40 > 2:17:44the decision comes down to him. Does he feel he has enough to take the

2:17:44 > 2:17:49players on to find the energy and keep things fresh and lead them into

2:17:49 > 2:17:53a new era? He is a bright man and if he does not feel it, he will step

2:17:53 > 2:17:56aside and let someone else take over.A sloppy goal to concede. They

2:17:56 > 2:18:02will be disappointed with that. You can say it's a nice interchange

2:18:02 > 2:18:05between the forwards, but too many players were ball watching. There's

2:18:05 > 2:18:08a lot of red shirts and nobody really affecting it. He tucked it

2:18:08 > 2:18:17away nicely and they have had their moment.He gets a little bit of

2:18:17 > 2:18:21luck, but the striker is lively and he tucks it away, but as I said,

2:18:21 > 2:18:25Wales, the meet, we were saying how poor Panama work and for Wales to

2:18:25 > 2:18:34make those changes, and be dysfunctional. You can't get into a

2:18:34 > 2:18:37proper system. It would have been nice to have one, but I don't think

2:18:37 > 2:18:42it has any bearing.Don't doubt they will be disappointed in the changing

2:18:42 > 2:18:46room. Ward had an opportunity in goal and he would have loved to have

2:18:46 > 2:18:53kept a clean sheet. You have the young kids making debuts. And Panama

2:18:53 > 2:18:56did not really offer any thing so to concede so late on will be

2:18:56 > 2:19:02disappointing.Another great goal by Tom Lawrence.Great goal. As I said,

2:19:02 > 2:19:05very positive, but at times I thought Tom Lawrence was excellent

2:19:05 > 2:19:09when he had the ball, he was positive. Andy tried to make things

2:19:09 > 2:19:17happen. Using his pace and power, and it's a great finish. The

2:19:17 > 2:19:21goalkeeper leaves the outside of his goal wide open but he still has two

2:19:21 > 2:19:25tuck it away and it's a great finish.We have seen him do that in

2:19:25 > 2:19:31the Championship last season or two weather for Ipswich or Derby and in

2:19:31 > 2:19:36commentary they said how often he has kept going and tried to beat a

2:19:36 > 2:19:41player and in the end he deserved a goal and tucked it away well.He's

2:19:41 > 2:19:45maturing into a good player because Cardiff City fans watching this

2:19:45 > 2:19:49evening they saw him in a blue shirt and he did not show that form, but

2:19:49 > 2:19:57it's fantastic to see him maturing. He really is maturing, only 23. He's

2:19:57 > 2:20:01had a lot of experience in the championship, but he's becoming a

2:20:01 > 2:20:06vital player in the Welsh setup. That was his 12th cap to night and

2:20:06 > 2:20:11he has two goals but he has played some key performances and shown

2:20:11 > 2:20:16glimpses of quality and that will give him confidence moving forward.

2:20:16 > 2:20:20Three players who came on in France who lit up what was an ordinary

2:20:20 > 2:20:24night from the Welsh perspective in Paris on Friday, but the EU, out of

2:20:24 > 2:20:30the three young players who shone the brightest -- but for you?I

2:20:30 > 2:20:34thought Ampadu and Brooks, taking nothing away from Ben Woodburn,

2:20:34 > 2:20:39because he's a real talent and is playing in the Liverpool under 23 is

2:20:39 > 2:20:43and he is good enough to get into the first team if he progresses the

2:20:43 > 2:20:47way he has, but Ampadu looked comfortable in that position, the

2:20:47 > 2:20:51holding midfield player and he had all the time and room in the world

2:20:51 > 2:20:55but what he did he did well and he never looked under pressure and you

2:20:55 > 2:21:00can see he is a physical presence and he passes it well and he has a

2:21:00 > 2:21:04good awareness and you know where he is on the pitch. I thought Brooks

2:21:04 > 2:21:09was the one that really stood out. He is a player and he has a huge

2:21:09 > 2:21:15future. Some of his touches to night work class, lots of flair and a top

2:21:15 > 2:21:21player already.So wonderful from the Wales perspective for Brooks and

2:21:21 > 2:21:27Ampadu, insofar as what the ball. -- wanting the ball.They are both

2:21:27 > 2:21:31brave and they did not look scared to get on the ball. I think they

2:21:31 > 2:21:35grabbed their opportunity with both hands. The way he goes past players,

2:21:35 > 2:21:40picking out passes for fun and cutting in on his left foot than

2:21:40 > 2:21:46happy to go down on his right and it's hard for eight player to play

2:21:46 > 2:21:49against and he created opportunities and he's instrumental in winning the

2:21:49 > 2:21:55penalty and he can be pleased with his full debut.He can go past a

2:21:55 > 2:21:59player as well. He can beat a player. He has that balance about

2:21:59 > 2:22:07him.If you find yourself back there, looking at Sam Vokes, that

2:22:07 > 2:22:18let foot, I could get some goals playing around him. They will only

2:22:18 > 2:22:25help get these players better and help their progression.Let's go

2:22:25 > 2:22:28inside, because we are with Tom Bradshaw.Tom, maybe not the result

2:22:28 > 2:22:31you want it, but what has been said in the changing room about the

2:22:31 > 2:22:35performance and the young players fielded today?Just invaluable

2:22:35 > 2:22:39experience for the young lads and myself. I think everybody did well

2:22:39 > 2:22:43and it's disappointing to concede a goal so late on but there were a lot

2:22:43 > 2:22:49of positives to take out of the game here and on Friday.We have not

2:22:49 > 2:22:54spoken to Chris Coleman yet. How was he in the changing room?He was

2:22:54 > 2:22:59reinforcing the positives from the game and everybody will learn from

2:22:59 > 2:23:02this, myself included and hopefully take it into the next games in

2:23:02 > 2:23:06March.Are the players aware it could be the end of an era for

2:23:06 > 2:23:13Wales? Has spoken about?All the focus has been on the two games,

2:23:13 > 2:23:15concentrating on getting the victories and we have not got the

2:23:15 > 2:23:18results we wanted out the friendlies, but everybody has done

2:23:18 > 2:23:23their bit and played well and it is something to build on.Does it feel

2:23:23 > 2:23:27very positive looking ahead to the future, the final game of the year

2:23:27 > 2:23:31for you guys here?Definitely. If you look at the likes of David

2:23:31 > 2:23:36Brooks, Ben Woodburn, they are young kids but they are stepping up when

2:23:36 > 2:23:40it comes to match day. It's a very bright future for Wales.Tom, thank

2:23:40 > 2:23:46you very much. The big talking point is about Chris Coleman, but should

2:23:46 > 2:23:50we look ahead and think that if Chris decides he has taken them as

2:23:50 > 2:23:55far as he can, looking up the group of players that the next person has

2:23:55 > 2:24:01to work with?-- look at the group. Absolutely. Jack alluded to it early

2:24:01 > 2:24:05on with the young ones on the big hitters coming back. Chris has done

2:24:05 > 2:24:09a magnificent job in his time here as Wales manager and we don't know

2:24:09 > 2:24:15what he is doing over whether he stays or goes, but if he is going or

2:24:15 > 2:24:19he does go, there will be a lot of managers looking at this Welsh group

2:24:19 > 2:24:23and saying, what a terrific bunch of players they have in terms of use,

2:24:23 > 2:24:30experience, players who got to the semifinal of the European

2:24:30 > 2:24:33Championships and only lost two qualifiers the last 20 when you

2:24:33 > 2:24:38think of the balance and the talent coming through, what an exciting

2:24:38 > 2:24:43prospect of a manager to come in take over.Let's go to Nathan Blake,

2:24:43 > 2:24:48hello, good evening. What is your hunch? Do you think Chris Coleman

2:24:48 > 2:24:54will stay?I think he will. All things considered, what he is asking

2:24:54 > 2:24:58for is only to improve the facilities, the whole

2:24:58 > 2:25:05professionalism, and we are always looking to improve these days, even

2:25:05 > 2:25:11if it is minor or big jumps, so in all fairness to him I think the

2:25:11 > 2:25:15Welsh FA, I'm not saying they should just do what he wants and give him

2:25:15 > 2:25:22what he wants, but to to improve the team and for Wales in general, they

2:25:22 > 2:25:25have to look at it. But they need to make sure this does not run away

2:25:25 > 2:25:31from them. The wrong thing said at the wrong time, these things can

2:25:31 > 2:25:34unravel. I would just like to see it resolved both parties get it sorted,

2:25:34 > 2:25:41or something positive, somebody saying that they are closer.Very

2:25:41 > 2:25:45impressed with David Brooks this evening, and sofa who -- stood out

2:25:45 > 2:25:52for you?Brooks for me. Especially first half, down the right-hand

2:25:52 > 2:25:55side, he was always threatening and looking to get in behind and cut

2:25:55 > 2:26:02back. Some great crosses in with his left foot. If you are somebody like

2:26:02 > 2:26:07Sam Vokes, you look at that and you say, then, I will pull off to the

2:26:07 > 2:26:12back stick and I will expect you to come across and deal with me on the

2:26:12 > 2:26:17six yard line, because some of those balls are dangerous and it will be

2:26:17 > 2:26:21Dane -- difficult not to get a goal or two there.Nathan, good to talk

2:26:21 > 2:26:25to you. And Nathan Blake will be on radio Wales duty this evening with

2:26:25 > 2:26:35full reaction to the result. Denmark thumping the Republic of Ireland 5-1

2:26:35 > 2:26:41in Dublin. The Republic of Ireland's World Cup dream is over. Very

2:26:41 > 2:26:46entertaining game between Germany and France. 5-1, John, your

2:26:46 > 2:26:51reaction, Christian Eriksen hat-trick.I am baffled by it,

2:26:51 > 2:26:55because you think, the Republic of Ireland, fantastic the other night

2:26:55 > 2:27:04in Copenhagen and got 0-0 and you think it's in Dublin, all on the

2:27:04 > 2:27:09line and the Republic do not concede goals and they had been thumped by

2:27:09 > 2:27:14five and not defending as well as they should.Absolutely right.

2:27:14 > 2:27:17Looking at Wales, and John Toshack many moons ago, saying that somebody

2:27:17 > 2:27:22will inherit a really good Wales squad, and ultimately it was Chris

2:27:22 > 2:27:26Coleman. Will we be saying that in the next few months?We have to wait

2:27:26 > 2:27:31and see. Only time will tell but Welsh football has come an awful

2:27:31 > 2:27:35long way since Chris Coleman took the reins and there's a lot of stuff

2:27:35 > 2:27:38behind-the-scenes and they have got a fantastic coaching programme. They

2:27:38 > 2:27:43will attract some of the biggest coaches in the world. Young teams

2:27:43 > 2:27:48getting a lot of time and investing in the future and they don't want us

2:27:48 > 2:27:56to be a one-off. You look at the likes of Brooks, so whatever they

2:27:56 > 2:28:01are doing behind the scenes, they need to keep building. If Chris

2:28:01 > 2:28:04Coleman stays, give him what he wants but they need to invest in

2:28:04 > 2:28:09youth and the whole programme.What the jaw message be to the FA of

2:28:09 > 2:28:14Wales?Listen to what he wants and see if he can make it work. We are

2:28:14 > 2:28:22talking about the young players who are not ready to jacket in and they

2:28:22 > 2:28:25are not ready to end their international careers and they have

2:28:25 > 2:28:30some growth in themselves, so that group of players can come into the

2:28:30 > 2:28:36group and the core of this group are people like James Collins who have

2:28:36 > 2:28:42hung their boots up.Chris Coleman is here.Not the result you wanted.

2:28:42 > 2:28:47Tel is the future. What does it hold? -- tell us the future.You

2:28:47 > 2:28:53always want to win, but more importantly tonight we had loads of

2:28:53 > 2:28:57experience given to the younger players and some of the guys won't

2:28:57 > 2:29:01be with us for a while, and that is important. We're playing against a

2:29:01 > 2:29:06team has qualified for the World Cup so you have to give them credit and

2:29:06 > 2:29:13you find them difficult to break it down but I thought that it was great

2:29:13 > 2:29:17experience and we thought the supporters were magnificent.Looking

2:29:17 > 2:29:21to the future, are you the man to lead them?I am the meal -- man to

2:29:21 > 2:29:31lead them, yes, but I think there is an easy question because it's more

2:29:31 > 2:29:36to it than that. That will happen very I imagine, but at the moment

2:29:36 > 2:29:43it's all about the team and the players and they had a tough game

2:29:43 > 2:29:47against France, but a lot learned. You have not lost the desire to be

2:29:47 > 2:29:53Wales manager?No, I will never lose the desire to represent Wales,

2:29:53 > 2:29:59never.Chris, pleasure. Thank you very much.We are still none the

2:29:59 > 2:30:07wiser.He is being very coy. He has gone round all the boxes. But you

2:30:07 > 2:30:12ask him the question, will he stay or go, they are still in talks and

2:30:12 > 2:30:17they've still not come to a decision and we would all like to know and

2:30:17 > 2:30:23Nathan Blake mentioned it, the players want to know the fans

2:30:23 > 2:30:28following them everywhere. It is pivotal now, and I believe that we

2:30:28 > 2:30:32should get an answer. I really do. Thank you very much for watching us.

2:30:32 > 2:30:38A sloppy goal, Wales conceded it in the last few moments, good luck to

2:30:38 > 2:30:41Panama in the World Cup. Chris Coleman, will he stay or
