:01:03. > :01:09.Welcome to stadium to lose brought is a crucial match for Wales in

:01:10. > :01:14.Group B of Euro 2016. A win and Chris Coleman's men will secure

:01:15. > :01:18.their place in the last 16. Anything less and they will have to rely on

:01:19. > :01:20.results elsewhere. Yet, Chichester is this match are Robbie Savage and

:01:21. > :01:29.Steve Wilson. COMMENTATOR: Festival atmosphere

:01:30. > :01:36.inside the Stadium Municipal. The smallest of the Euro 2016 venues.

:01:37. > :01:53.But booming loud tonight. Russia's Berezutski twins are

:01:54. > :02:03.celebrating the 34th birthday is today. Sergei Ignashevich is 36 now.

:02:04. > :02:19.He will not enjoy Gareth Bale in full flow. The coach makes four

:02:20. > :02:41.changes. The referee is Swedish. Yunus Eriksson.

:02:42. > :03:03.Wales won the toss. They make one change. Sam Vokes starts in place of

:03:04. > :03:06.Hal Robson-Kanu. Two games in this tournament, two free kicks, two

:03:07. > :03:16.goals from Gareth Bale. Robbie Savage, how are you feeling?

:03:17. > :03:20.Nervous. I am pleased to see the introduction of Sam Vokes. You will

:03:21. > :03:25.be a big target man and that will allow Gareth Bale to play as a

:03:26. > :03:32.number ten and drive at this Russian back four with an average age of 32.

:03:33. > :03:41.Memories of the qualifying play-off. Russia beat Wales 1-0 on aggregate

:03:42. > :03:47.and then had a player tested for a banned substance. Memories of 1965

:03:48. > :03:53.and a Wales 2-1 win over the Soviet Union. The only Welsh victory over

:03:54. > :04:00.the Soviets or Russians in nine attempts. You might say the second

:04:01. > :04:06.is overdue. It is Russia in the white shirts and blue shorts who

:04:07. > :04:14.will get the game underway kicking from left-to-right. Against Wales in

:04:15. > :04:18.the read and write. The Russians are wearing black armbands as a mark of

:04:19. > :04:24.respect to the 14 children tragically killed in an accident in

:04:25. > :04:38.Corel yet in the north of Russia. Ashley Williams forward. This is

:04:39. > :04:48.Smolnikov for the Russians. Williams came to take command. All the way

:04:49. > :04:52.through to Smolnikov with eight dangerous looking ball which is

:04:53. > :05:10.James Chester dealt with well. Ramsey in the middle. Gareth Bale

:05:11. > :05:21.got the shot away. Big chance for Sam Vokes. Flag up anyway. We sought

:05:22. > :05:28.what Sam Vokes can offer. It is a good strike. The keeper there,,

:05:29. > :05:38.Akinfeev, all kinds of trouble. Great start from Wales. He drives

:05:39. > :05:46.inside. His favoured left foot. No question about the decision. He

:05:47. > :05:52.clearly was offside. But Akinfeev would have been very happy to see

:05:53. > :06:06.the flag. He made a very good save. He pushed the first back into the

:06:07. > :06:19.danger area. Dmitri Kombarov here. Dzyuba beaten to it by Williams.

:06:20. > :06:30.Playing a very high line, Russia. To might be a chance for the third man

:06:31. > :06:53.run from Ramsay or if Bale think the run.

:06:54. > :07:01.It is a strength having two very experienced central defenders but is

:07:02. > :07:11.that a weakness, one is 34, one is 36. Sam Vokes will like playing

:07:12. > :07:19.against them. They're both a physical presence. It is just if

:07:20. > :07:20.Bale can get that ball and tried at them, Wales will fancy their

:07:21. > :08:02.chances. -- drive at them. No free kick. Taylor thought he was

:08:03. > :08:08.filed by Shirokov. -- fouled. I think it will be important for the

:08:09. > :08:19.full-backs of Russia, Smolnikov on this right-hand side. They need to

:08:20. > :08:20.get balls into the box for Dzyuba. Six foot five. Physically imposing.

:08:21. > :08:50.Can they get balls into the box? Great noise. Ramsey unable to reach

:08:51. > :08:56.it from some folks. They will have a license to get forward. When the

:08:57. > :08:59.ball goes up to Vokes, when he gets flicked on is, I think Bale and

:09:00. > :09:21.Ramsey can make runs in behind him. Ledley and Ramsey did well. Here is

:09:22. > :09:30.Joe Allen. Chester under a little bit of pressure. Just look how high

:09:31. > :09:34.the squeeze up, Russia. Chris Coleman might look at that and think

:09:35. > :09:38.if they can get a runner from midfield, push up, they might get

:09:39. > :09:48.caught, Russia, the longer this game goes on.

:09:49. > :10:00.Akinfeev long. Chester had to deal with that. A little bit of help from

:10:01. > :10:13.Chris Gunter. If Allen looks right he will have Chris Gunter. That is

:10:14. > :10:19.where he has looked. Good decision by the referee. Gareth Bale running

:10:20. > :10:23.into the defender. It's important that Wales switched the ball quickly

:10:24. > :10:29.and utilise the wingbacks, Taylor and Gunter full stop play high up

:10:30. > :10:46.the park. The switch is on but you have to do it quick. Good ball.

:10:47. > :10:54.Taylor trying to find the run of Ramsey. Cleared away for Russia by

:10:55. > :11:13.Ignashevich only as far as Ben Davies. Confident from James

:11:14. > :11:24.Chester. Bale. Lovely run. It took Berezutski to make the block.

:11:25. > :11:34.They defend the width of the 18-yard box, Russia. -- box. Switch the play

:11:35. > :11:40.as often as you can. Look at Neil Taylor at the bottom of your

:11:41. > :11:55.picture. Here is Chester going to Chris Gunter. That is a good looking

:11:56. > :12:02.ball. It might come back to Kokorin. It would have done if it wasn't for

:12:03. > :12:06.Ben Davies. I don't think that can happen for Wales defensively. They

:12:07. > :12:10.cannot be beaten by one pass. One has to sit in front of the back

:12:11. > :12:15.four. They both got ahead of the play. It would be worrying for me

:12:16. > :12:30.from those two defensive midfielders for Wales. Advancing is Mamayev. Not

:12:31. > :12:35.a great ball in. Vokes looks for Bale. Fine header. Here is Ramsey.

:12:36. > :12:47.Three of three. Still Aaron Ramsey. Bale. In the end the white shirts

:12:48. > :13:00.were converging. That is a Wales throw. Careless from Akinfeev.

:13:01. > :13:11.Great opportunity for Wales on the counterattack. Three against three.

:13:12. > :13:16.Ramsey delayed the pass. Bale wanted it early. Akinfeev made the mistake

:13:17. > :13:20.and made sure Wales couldn't take a quick the win. That's why the

:13:21. > :13:31.referee is having a word with him. -- quick throw in. Vokes stayed on

:13:32. > :13:37.his feet. Well one by Joe Allen. The second favourite to that and Kokorin

:13:38. > :13:45.was caught by surprise and Court Joe Allen. Joe Allen has had an

:13:46. > :13:49.impressive tournament. Just got there before Kokorin. Definite free

:13:50. > :13:54.kick and a good position for direct foot of Ramsey to whip a ball in and

:13:55. > :13:58.test this back four and the goalkeeper and get runners across,

:13:59. > :14:17.Chester, Davis, Bale who is great in the air. 10th minute. Wales have

:14:18. > :14:23.started the better of the two sides. Blocked by the first defender.

:14:24. > :14:28.Mamayev felt it was they cut already on the left eyebrow from earlier in

:14:29. > :14:33.the tournament. Made two substitute appearances. His first start.

:14:34. > :14:42.Chester to Joe Allen. Ramsey is onside. Aaron Ramsey with the dink

:14:43. > :14:56.and Wales with the lead! Aaron Ramsey for Wales! Noses in front.

:14:57. > :15:10.And if they win there is nothing anyone can do to deny them. What a

:15:11. > :15:16.ball from Joe Allen. The Welsh hero. Where -- Russia give the ball away

:15:17. > :15:21.cheaply. Look at the third man run from Aaron Ramsey timed absolute

:15:22. > :15:25.perfectly. Then he has got the composure. He sees Akinfeev charging

:15:26. > :15:31.out and he has the audacity to wait for the goalkeeper to go down and

:15:32. > :15:36.then he thinks it over him, so cool, calm, collected, 1-0 Wales. The

:15:37. > :16:02.perfect start. Delightful finish. But attention needed. 32-macro is

:16:03. > :16:18.wide. -- the Cochrane. Very ambitious. Very ambitious from

:16:19. > :16:25.Kokorin merit. Great pass. Look how cool he was, seeing Akinfeev goal

:16:26. > :16:41.down. Russia are on the front foot now. Welsh throw. Aaron Ramsey with

:16:42. > :16:51.his 11th goal for his country. He is a goal-scorer, he got 16 for Arsenal

:16:52. > :17:14.in the 2013 - 2014 series. He took it so well.

:17:15. > :17:22.Berezutski. That was decent ball. Here is the fullback, little

:17:23. > :17:29.deflection on the cross, Williams had to adjust and did so quickly.

:17:30. > :17:33.Kokorin going down a very ambitiously and getting nothing from

:17:34. > :17:40.the referee. Aaron Ramsey carries it for Wales. What I like about this

:17:41. > :17:45.Welsh start, they have not only got the goal but they have played with

:17:46. > :17:50.the freedom, Gareth Bale is on the left and the right, dropped in deep,

:17:51. > :17:55.another minute, he looks so dangerous, Sam a boat is in short,

:17:56. > :18:00.Ramsay runs in the behind and that is worth the goal comes from. --

:18:01. > :18:43.Vokes. Ramsay, given away, Shirokov.

:18:44. > :18:50.Kombarov. Could not get it back. Ramsay was there. Here is Joe Allen.

:18:51. > :19:24.Russian throw to be taken by 39-macro. -- Dmitri Kombarov.

:19:25. > :19:36.I think Joe Allen has had a great tournament so far. He has seen the

:19:37. > :19:37.run, with the inside of his foot, perfect way to pass, allowed Ramsay

:19:38. > :19:55.to get onto it to finish it. Clash of heads. Berezutski is down

:19:56. > :20:02.holding his face after jumping with Sam Vokes. It is strange thing, the

:20:03. > :20:06.two twins, this is Vasili Berezutski who is down, they have been around a

:20:07. > :20:21.long time, they have never played together in a major tournament. That

:20:22. > :20:28.was a right old crack. Aleksei Berezutski played in 2012. Yellow

:20:29. > :20:36.card for Sam Vokes. He has jumped, his right arm has caught Berezutski

:20:37. > :20:43.in the face. It was not intentional, it was the way his arm caught him.

:20:44. > :20:49.The referee has decided to book him. You see that pass from Joe Allen,

:20:50. > :20:50.that first touts -- touch gets it out, lovely little dink into the

:20:51. > :21:01.empty net. Just waiting for the keeper, flipped

:21:02. > :21:12.it over him, brilliant, brilliant finish.

:21:13. > :21:21.Wonderful ball. From a player who is enjoying an extremely good

:21:22. > :21:39.tournament. Berezutski is back on his feet and now bandaged.

:21:40. > :22:25.Kokorin cleared away by Williams, this might fall nicely for Wales,

:22:26. > :22:29.Gareth Bale to Ramsay, a look to see if he could get Sam Vokes away with

:22:30. > :22:34.an early ball but he could not. Ashley Williams has started this

:22:35. > :22:40.game much better, a little bit nervous against England, I was not

:22:41. > :22:43.sure if he was carrying a knock, he had a bandage on before the game,

:22:44. > :22:49.but he did not have a bandage on tonight and he started the game

:22:50. > :22:57.positively, winning balls in front of Dzyuba, the centre forward.

:22:58. > :23:11.Taylor's throw. Wales fans singing the name of Gary speed. Smolnikov

:23:12. > :23:22.with the throw. Dzyuba battling for it, a real physical presence,

:23:23. > :23:32.21-macro. He is closed down. Rusedski -- Dzyuba. -- Berezutski.

:23:33. > :23:40.He has done well. An excellent challenge from Ben Davies. Gareth

:23:41. > :23:46.Bale, trying to exploit a gap in the Russian rearguard, Taylor made a

:23:47. > :23:54.great run and it has come to Taylor, can he finish? Akinfeev saves the

:23:55. > :24:01.first but not the second! His first ever goal for Wales! They are in

:24:02. > :24:12.dreamland, we have not played 20 minutes yet, it is Wales two, Russia

:24:13. > :24:23.zero! Neil Taylor, doubles the lead for Wales. Ramsay again, look where

:24:24. > :24:30.Gareth Bale picks up the ball, that is why Sam Vokes is in their team.

:24:31. > :24:36.That fortuitous the way it went to Taylor. He took his time, good save

:24:37. > :24:46.then it is blasted into the net. Gareth Bale was a bit unlucky there,

:24:47. > :24:51.but Taylor, second attempt, outside of his left foot, 2-0, Wales in

:24:52. > :25:01.dreamland, fantastic, fantastic start. What a day on which to score

:25:02. > :25:11.for your country, for the very first time. They have been so positive

:25:12. > :25:22.from the first minute. Joe Allen. Taylor.

:25:23. > :25:31.Ben Davis to Joe Allen, over the top and the flag has gone up against

:25:32. > :25:35.Aaron Ramsey -- Ben Davies. But Russia are all over the place at the

:25:36. > :25:41.moment and Wales are picking them off. So much time on the ball, Joe

:25:42. > :25:47.Allen has, Ramsay went a fraction too early but the rush back four are

:25:48. > :25:55.pushing up, it is nonsensical play from Russia. Average age of 32, two

:25:56. > :25:59.centre has at 36 and 34, why push up so high? Joe Allen has all the time

:26:00. > :26:12.in the world to pick any party wants. Russia are not in this game

:26:13. > :26:17.at the moment and the next few moments of this game are crucial for

:26:18. > :26:22.them. Because if they concede a game, they might just completely

:26:23. > :26:31.crumble. Here they are, here is Sam Vokes, Ramsay, Gareth Bale had of

:26:32. > :26:36.him. -- Aaron Ramsey. Kokorin coming back with the challenge, referee

:26:37. > :26:41.says play on. Joe Ledley doors but that is through Berezutski. The

:26:42. > :26:56.beauty of having Sam Vokes in the side, he can drop deep -- Akinfeev.

:26:57. > :26:58.They are totally overpowering this Russian side, Chris Coleman there,

:26:59. > :27:18.what a job he has done. Joe Allen, has another great ball.

:27:19. > :27:26.Chris Gunter into the box, Aaron Ramsey arriving. Almost a fantastic

:27:27. > :27:31.touch from Aaron Ramsey. Here is the goal again, look how much space on

:27:32. > :27:34.the right that Taylor has. But fortuitous but when he was in there,

:27:35. > :27:40.I thought he was going to square. Lucky with the rebound. So much

:27:41. > :27:54.space the wingbacks are having for raise -- Wales.

:27:55. > :28:01.Igor Smolnikov wins a corner for Russia. It is important that Wales

:28:02. > :28:07.concentrate defensively, they have to stay switched on, Hennessy has

:28:08. > :28:11.had nothing to do, everyone has to do their job, stay concentrated. The

:28:12. > :28:18.Russians are on the rack. Wales must not give them a route back into this

:28:19. > :28:29.game. In that goes the corner and a very good take by Hennessey. There

:28:30. > :28:37.is a man under pressure, Leonid Slutsky.

:28:38. > :28:48.It is his 13th game only in charge of the national team. Berezutski,

:28:49. > :28:52.back to Akinfeev and it is unlucky 13 for him, he only played 13 games

:28:53. > :28:54.as a professional footballer before he fell out of a tree and had to

:28:55. > :29:24.retire. Dzyuba, Ben Davies is there. Group

:29:25. > :29:28.winners go to play on Saturday and that is the position that Wales are

:29:29. > :29:31.in at the moment, it could be taken away from them, but at the moment,

:29:32. > :29:43.that is what they would be looking at. Kokorin for Russia.

:29:44. > :29:59.Joe Ledley. Gareth Bale. Played a good advantage, the referee at Aaron

:30:00. > :30:05.Ramsey, Sam Vokes is with him, Chris Gunter is arriving. The ball in from

:30:06. > :30:13.Chris Gunter, Sam Vokes leads, but a comfortable save for Akinfeev.

:30:14. > :30:20.Driving at the Russian back four. They have no protection, they are

:30:21. > :30:29.exposed, Chris Gunter game... Dzyuba in here, crucial save. Hennessey.

:30:30. > :30:32.That is a brilliant save from Hennessey, a long ball from

:30:33. > :30:40.Akinfeev, they switched off, Williams has got a toe on it but

:30:41. > :30:43.what a save. He saw the danger and got a strong left hand to it.

:30:44. > :30:52.Warning signs for Wales, they have to concentrate.

:30:53. > :31:07.Hennessey only got fingertips to it. Aaron Ramsey behind him. Big moments

:31:08. > :31:13.in games, Robbie. That might be one, that save from Hennessey. It was a

:31:14. > :31:15.good starting position. He seen the danger. A huge frame, and good

:31:16. > :31:44.presence. Very important save. Could climb by Williams. Ledley

:31:45. > :32:00.there. Kokorin has won it back, did well. Smolnikov with the crusts

:32:01. > :32:14.which is put into safety by Chris Guenther. Great play. Got out there.

:32:15. > :32:21.Good header. Here is Bale. Little deflection ticket to Shirokov. A

:32:22. > :32:27.better spell for Russia. They were rocking after the second goal.

:32:28. > :32:39.Dzyuba in the middle claiming a push from Ashley Williams. Williams here.

:32:40. > :32:44.Dzyuba goes down far too easy. Williams was marking him tight. Big

:32:45. > :32:50.centre forward has got to stay on his feet. Mamayev for Russia. Igor

:32:51. > :33:23.Smolnikov. World Cup hosts in two years' time,

:33:24. > :33:35.Russia, whoever is in charge then has got some rebuilding to do

:33:36. > :33:48.because this is an ageing side. Decent ball. Smolov, blocked by

:33:49. > :34:07.Davies can't live with Gareth Bale. Exhilarating. , Vokes! Akinfeev

:34:08. > :34:15.prevents a third. Ramsey, Allen. Bale! A really good header. Oh,

:34:16. > :34:22.Gareth Bale! Scintillating run. Once again they cannot live with them.

:34:23. > :34:30.Driving again. You see the cross here from Ramsey. Given offside but

:34:31. > :34:32.still a great leap. Nine headed goals this season. He can puff his

:34:33. > :34:46.cheeks out because you getting battered. Fantastic first half-hour

:34:47. > :34:51.for Chris Coleman's Wales. 2-0 up and that flatters Russia. Here they

:34:52. > :35:01.come again. Joe Allen. All the way. Still going. Bale. Oh, the referee

:35:02. > :35:09.had a good view of that and decided it was not a foul. This is not only

:35:10. > :35:13.one of the best performances by Wales in this tournament, the first

:35:14. > :35:17.half-hour has arguably been the best half-hour by anybody in this

:35:18. > :35:31.turnaround. Scintillating stuff on the counterattack. Good defensively.

:35:32. > :35:38.Shirokov here. Chester got his head on it. Port touch from the big

:35:39. > :35:53.centre have. The big centre forward, Dzyuba. He -- here we see Bale go

:35:54. > :35:59.into the box. Ignashevich, Gareth Bale fix it over him. It is not a

:36:00. > :36:07.foul from me. Look how he drives through. That should have been a

:36:08. > :36:20.foul. Vokes has got to stick the ball in the back of the net. Ramsey,

:36:21. > :36:28.well it. Akinfeev shovelling it around the post. This could be four

:36:29. > :36:31.or five and that is no exaggeration. Great strike. Could have played

:36:32. > :36:50.Chris Guenther in but why doesn't he catch the ball, Akinfeev. -- Chris

:36:51. > :37:06.Gunter. Irrepressible, ruthless Wales. Tearing Russia to this thread

:37:07. > :37:07.is here. -- caring Russia to shreds. The a word for Dmitri Kombarov and

:37:08. > :37:38.Jill Ledley. -- Joe Ledley. Ramsey's corner. Vokes got a head on

:37:39. > :37:44.it but couldn't direct it. Every time the ball goes into the box,

:37:45. > :37:48.Wales look like scoring. The Russia team have no protection from the

:37:49. > :37:56.back four. They don't go with runners. Just have to say, Chris

:37:57. > :37:58.Coleman... If they can get another one by half-time it will put it to

:37:59. > :38:48.bed. The deflection and it is a corner to

:38:49. > :38:55.Russia. Kokorin is not the most energetic players. It is on strike.

:38:56. > :38:59.Hennessey would have had it covered. Could have closed the ball down a

:39:00. > :39:04.bit quicker. Corner kick. Dmitri Kombarov. Ramsey at the back post.

:39:05. > :40:00.This little breakthrough. You can see why Kokorin was hailed

:40:01. > :40:13.as the bright young thing of Russian football. Now. But had a decent

:40:14. > :40:17.World Cup in 2014. -- now 25. Offside. Good defensive line. Lead

:40:18. > :40:25.so well at the back by Astley Williams. It is Davies at the bottom

:40:26. > :40:33.of the picture by delays and has got that wrong I think. I thought he was

:40:34. > :40:39.level. Scored eight goals in eight games in qualifying, Dzyuba, but

:40:40. > :40:41.five of them were against lips and Steyn. Kind of takes the gloss off

:40:42. > :41:09.that a little. -- Lipson Steyn. A decent little touch to Shirokov.

:41:10. > :41:24.Foul by Neil Taylor. Kokorin. Early ball in. James Chester with the

:41:25. > :41:32.block. That pass from Ramsey is stretching the Russians. It is

:41:33. > :41:39.Gareth Bale. Bail's shop. -- shot. He is in the mood. When Russia

:41:40. > :41:44.attack, it breaks down, the recovery runs in the middle of the park,

:41:45. > :41:48.nonexistent. Bale has so much space and time to relax the back four of

:41:49. > :42:03.Russia. Very poor Russian side. I played

:42:04. > :42:09.against them in 2003. They were big and strong and physical and

:42:10. > :42:14.energetic. Knocked the Wales side out of the play-offs 1-0. So

:42:15. > :42:27.disappointed. But tonight there is no energy in the side whatsoever.

:42:28. > :42:33.Little knock-down. Dzyuba trying to get around Chris Guenther. Can't so.

:42:34. > :42:46.Port touch from Joe Allen. My treat his first error of the half. --

:42:47. > :42:47.might be. That was a decent ball in. James Chester getting himself in

:42:48. > :43:42.front of Dzyuba. We are top of the league is the

:43:43. > :43:47.song. So they are. Hennessey thought about coming. Here is Bale. He has

:43:48. > :43:52.turned it away from one and he is running at Ignashevich and

:43:53. > :43:58.Berezutski and has got the pace to beat both of them. Akinfeev at the

:43:59. > :44:02.moment must feel like using a coconut shy. Once again, Bale

:44:03. > :44:11.playing deep and picking the ball up. This Russian back four. They

:44:12. > :44:18.don't do what has had them. The protection in front... Good touch.

:44:19. > :44:26.Dangerous cross. Just a little bit too high but only just. Smolnikov

:44:27. > :44:34.did what he could to get a head on it. That was a good touch by

:44:35. > :44:41.Williams. A few nervous moments. Linked onto the head of Ashley

:44:42. > :44:55.Williams. Kombarov with a shot was deflected at least twice. Composure.

:44:56. > :45:06.Playing out of defence. Crosses from Russia. Guenther and Leslie --

:45:07. > :45:19.Ledley with a clearance. It is a poor ball. Just look at Gunter. Just

:45:20. > :45:28.done enough to put him off at the back post. You have to say, the

:45:29. > :45:38.protection being offered to Ignashevich, Mamayev, absolutely

:45:39. > :45:43.nonexistent. That is allowing Ramsey is Bale to do what they want and

:45:44. > :46:11.drive into the space into the back four.

:46:12. > :46:25.Bale here for Russia. -- Smolnikov. Smolnikov. Comfortably wide off the

:46:26. > :47:41.head of Mamayev. Aeroplane with such a freedom, this

:47:42. > :47:45.Welsh side tonight,, they looked nervous, did not play the football

:47:46. > :47:56.we have been accustomed to and Chris Coleman, but tonight, at times, the

:47:57. > :48:00.energy and desire they have played with, their desire to score goals

:48:01. > :48:05.have been brilliant. The red shirts are knocking the ball about

:48:06. > :48:12.delightedly while the red hordes sing the anthem. Into the last

:48:13. > :48:20.minute of the first half, normal time anyway of that half.

:48:21. > :48:43.Taylor. Dangerous ball in, Sergei Ignashevich with the clearance for

:48:44. > :48:46.Russia. He is still going for a goal, Taylor crossed the ball, Chris

:48:47. > :49:08.Gunter was in the box. Fourth official is roaming out with

:49:09. > :49:18.his board. Just the one added minute. Not quite sure where the

:49:19. > :49:24.Russian coach starts with his team talk, I do not think Chris Coleman

:49:25. > :49:31.has to say too much at all. Chester in quickly. The desire of Chester,

:49:32. > :49:37.now the pace of Gareth Bale, the running of Aaron Ramsey to his left,

:49:38. > :49:46.here is Aaron Ramsey, blocked by Smolnikov. Joe Ledley. Too close to

:49:47. > :49:52.Akinfeev. No exaggeration to say that for -- except for the Russian

:49:53. > :50:04.goalkeeper, Wales could be in front by about four or five goals.

:50:05. > :50:12.Kokorin. Smolov. Hennessey is there. A decent save. A decent strike.

:50:13. > :50:17.Wales have worked harder than Russia, they have run faster than

:50:18. > :50:22.Russia, they have been cleverer than Russia and they have been so much

:50:23. > :50:28.better than Russia. They are bewitched, bothered, bewildered the

:50:29. > :50:31.Russians and almost down and out, Wales and seven heaven, it is 2-0 to

:50:32. > :51:01.Wales. The second half gets underway. Wales

:51:02. > :51:08.having completely outplayed the Russians in that first 45 minutes

:51:09. > :51:15.and a dangerous ball in from Sam Vokes is applauded by Gareth Bale

:51:16. > :51:19.and put behind for a corner by Aleksei Berezutski. They have

:51:20. > :51:27.started positive, on the front foot, put the ball into the box.

:51:28. > :51:32.Berezutski, no one nearing, heads out for a corner. Aaron Ramsey takes

:51:33. > :51:56.it short. Powered by Berezutski, Joe Allen is

:51:57. > :52:07.there. He was a little but unlucky with the Mr kick. Dmitri Kombarov.

:52:08. > :52:09.Joe Allen knocked over after the ball had gone, the Russian

:52:10. > :52:37.apologises. Here is Aaron Ramsey. Gareth Bale. Going outside,

:52:38. > :52:40.Ignashevich. No protection for the two centre halves of Russia or the

:52:41. > :52:45.freedom in the world, on his left foot. Decent save from the

:52:46. > :53:00.goalkeeper. Joe Allen weaving through the white shirts.

:53:01. > :53:11.Neil Taylor's last goal, Robbie, was as Iraq's player playing non-league

:53:12. > :53:25.football. Been a long, long wait -- Wrexham. He was lucky to square it.

:53:26. > :53:40.Decent save by Akinfeev, headed down, smashed into the empty net.

:53:41. > :53:51.Gareth Bell against Ignashevich. Tries to go across Akinfeev,

:53:52. > :53:55.comfortable save -- Gareth Bale. He scored two free kicks, but he is

:53:56. > :54:03.playing with the freedom and I think that has helped him having Sam Vokes

:54:04. > :54:07.in the side. Chris Coleman made good substitutions in the opening game

:54:08. > :54:27.against Slovakia, he has his tactics spot on here today.

:54:28. > :54:35.Offside flag up against Sam Vokes, but the referee from Sweden says

:54:36. > :54:43.play on, Russia have the ball. Williams in. All three centre halves

:54:44. > :54:49.tonight, Ben Davies, Williams, Chester are positive in defending

:54:50. > :55:06.and when the ball from the Russian players. That is well read by Ben

:55:07. > :55:12.Davies from Glushakov. Aaron Ramsey. Joe Allen keeps Wales moving in the

:55:13. > :55:18.right direction. Gareth Bale. Aaron Ramsey. Great ball, Chris Gunter,

:55:19. > :55:23.Sam Vokes is in the middle. It could almost have crept into the near post

:55:24. > :55:29.off Berezutski but it is a corner. Great attacking play down the

:55:30. > :55:33.right-hand side, great timing, great run from Chris Gunter, Berezutski

:55:34. > :55:40.does so well at the near post, if he misses it, Sam Vokes would have had

:55:41. > :55:44.a tap in. There is only one side threatening to score at the moment.

:55:45. > :55:49.And they are wearing the red shirts with the Dragon on the chest. In it

:55:50. > :56:13.goes from Aaron Ramsey. Berezutski got a touch helped on by Shirokov.

:56:14. > :56:19.At times, watching Wales tonight you would think they had an extra man,

:56:20. > :56:26.they have been that dominant. This Russian team are so lethargic.

:56:27. > :56:31.Gareth Bale, away to Chris Gunter, look at the space for Chris Gunter

:56:32. > :56:40.and Aaron Ramsey. Aaron Ramsey, in behind Sam Vokes, Smolnikov trying

:56:41. > :56:48.to inject some pace into the rushing game. Chester comes across and he is

:56:49. > :56:54.dispossessed. -- Russian. Another Russian substitution. No sign of any

:56:55. > :57:17.improvement in the opening moments of the second half, Shirokov goes

:57:18. > :57:20.off, Golovin comes on. Golovin started each of the first two

:57:21. > :57:27.matches in the Euros for the Russians. He will at least bring

:57:28. > :57:38.some younger legs into the side, he has only just turned 20. And the

:57:39. > :58:04.captain's armband will go all the way back to Akinfeev.

:58:05. > :58:17.Joe Allen in quickly, Aaron Ramsey is there, that is brilliant. He is

:58:18. > :58:20.fouled. Fantastic footwork. Joe Allen and Ramsey, third game of the

:58:21. > :58:27.tournament, they have done exceptionally well, the pair of

:58:28. > :58:31.them. One thing I will say, because Wales are so comfortable in

:58:32. > :58:35.possession, so good on the counterattack, it is important that

:58:36. > :58:39.Ashley Williams speaks to Chester and Ben Davies so that they stay

:58:40. > :58:56.concentrated and switched on. So comfortable for them. Joe Allen.

:58:57. > :59:06.Smashed away by Ignashevich, here is Neil Taylor again. Smolnikov

:59:07. > :59:55.forward. Kokorin. Dmitri Kombarov. It is a way to Smolnikov. Mamayev.

:59:56. > :00:00.-- away. Kokorin. Smolov looking to get the shot away, it can and up

:00:01. > :00:10.onto the chest of Ashley Williams. Dmitri Kombarov. That was dangerous.

:00:11. > :00:18.Still in play. Great ball in from Dmitri Kombarov. It just needed

:00:19. > :00:29.Dzyuba or Mamayev to get it. Sam Vokes has got away, Gareth Bale in

:00:30. > :00:35.the middle. Akinfeev again. Such good work from Sam Vokes. Look at

:00:36. > :00:41.the timing of the pass from Aaron Ramsey. Gareth Bale has tried to dig

:00:42. > :00:47.it over the legs of Akinfeev. Good save from the goalkeeper, just got

:00:48. > :00:56.his toe to the ball. Once again, devastating counterattack from

:00:57. > :01:03.Wales. It is only Akinfeev who has denied Wales. One man resisted at

:01:04. > :01:15.the moment, the corner in from Aaron Ramsey. Neil Taylor.

:01:16. > :01:27.I'm not quite sure it's that had a day for him. Great ball into the box

:01:28. > :01:47.from Kombarov. Nobody running across the goalkeeper.

:01:48. > :01:55.Just a little push bike Chris Gunter. A bit too eager to win the

:01:56. > :02:25.ball in front of Smolov. A great ball from Hennessey to

:02:26. > :02:41.Ramsey. Ignashevich getting across. Bale has got to the back post.

:02:42. > :02:50.Clipped to Ramsey. Knocked over. And a buzz of excitement about the

:02:51. > :03:03.ground because it is a Welsh free kick. Golovin just barges into

:03:04. > :03:11.Allen. Free kick to Wales. Bale's header, sorry. He can do it again,

:03:12. > :03:13.can he? You could say he has been helped out by two goalkeepers with

:03:14. > :03:40.his first two in this tournament. Not much of a wall, -- Akinfeev

:03:41. > :03:48.should have a good view of this. Cameras are ready. Bale. Akinfeev

:03:49. > :03:57.knew that his goal was not under threat. Decent strike from Bale. The

:03:58. > :03:59.wall split. Wasn't the bravest wallet ever seen. The keeper would

:04:00. > :04:52.have had it covered. -- wall. Mamayev. Away by Davies. Russia have

:04:53. > :04:56.a throw. The only other game I can think of that I have been present

:04:57. > :05:00.that in this tournament when one side was so dominant with the other

:05:01. > :05:05.was Croatia against the Czech Republic. You may render that

:05:06. > :05:12.Croatia led 2-0 and it is 2-2. -- remember. That third goal cannot

:05:13. > :05:15.come soon enough I would have thought for Chris Coleman. They have

:05:16. > :05:19.had their chances to get the third. He will want that. Then he can make

:05:20. > :06:24.substitutions. Kokorin back to Slutsky. Cross

:06:25. > :06:49.behind Dzyuba. Headed firmly away by Chris Gunter.

:06:50. > :07:04.Possession for Russia but no great threat. Ignashevich's pass rebranded

:07:05. > :07:10.and Bale is running at them again. Skips around two again. Really good

:07:11. > :07:23.covering by Golovin. As you say, good cover. Golovin tracking back.

:07:24. > :07:32.Full stop Ledley to get away from him.

:07:33. > :07:56.You just feel a little bit of new impetus behind Russia, maybe.

:07:57. > :08:12.Ball in. A difficult balancing one. Decent spell in the game for Russia.

:08:13. > :08:35.Kombarov has put a couple of good balls into the box.

:08:36. > :08:59.Good header by Vokes. Great centre forward play. Bale lurking on the

:09:00. > :09:12.edge of the deed. -- D. You feel Russia goal away from complete

:09:13. > :09:18.capitulation. -- one goal away from stop -- one goal away.

:09:19. > :09:28.I think he was Wales' Maliki match or the Man of the Match against

:09:29. > :09:35.Slovenia and he has got a very good shout of being Man of the Match

:09:36. > :09:50.again, Joe Allen. -- a reaction here. The yellow card for Mamayev

:09:51. > :09:56.and I think he is saying that Joe Allen had a party to play in this as

:09:57. > :10:05.well. It was a feisty old chance. -- part to play. Joe Allen doesn't need

:10:06. > :10:13.to react. He has had a fantastic game. He doesn't need to go back.

:10:14. > :10:15.Stay out of the way. There is a round of 16 to play and you don't

:10:16. > :10:44.want to be suspended. 20th minute of the second half.

:10:45. > :10:47.Bale. Lovely ball, and downward header and Joe Ledley wasn't far

:10:48. > :10:57.away from getting on the end of that. Great ball in from Bale. Very

:10:58. > :11:04.little backlift. Vokes with the header. Ledley just couldn't reach

:11:05. > :11:10.out, maybe could have thrown himself at it with his head. 2-0 doesn't

:11:11. > :11:17.truly begin to reflect Wales' superiority. They are playing with a

:11:18. > :11:25.smile on their face and a freedom. Tactically once again Chris Coleman

:11:26. > :11:31.has got it spot on. When will they look to make substitutions? Will he

:11:32. > :11:35.want that third goal? There was able bit of gloom about Wales watchers

:11:36. > :11:39.when they were badly beaten in Stockholm in the last warm up game

:11:40. > :11:44.just before the tournament. That has been completely dispersed. By what

:11:45. > :11:57.they have achieved in the group stages here in France. The opening

:11:58. > :12:02.game of the tournament against Slovakia was the first time Chris,

:12:03. > :12:07.had his full squad together, the first time since Andorra in the

:12:08. > :12:10.qualifying campaign in the friendly he didn't have his strongest team

:12:11. > :12:16.but when they got their strongest team, as we have seen already,

:12:17. > :12:21.Slovakia competed well against England but didn't get the result,

:12:22. > :12:33.tonight at times they were devastating. Aaron Ramsey. Backing

:12:34. > :12:47.off him. Weaving it through to Bale. He is onside. Surely this time.

:12:48. > :13:00.There is the man and there is the man with the plan. Wales 3-0 Russia.

:13:01. > :13:09.Is so much space on this right-hand side. A great diagonal from Ledley.

:13:10. > :13:14.Gunter gives the bold to Ramsey. No protection for the back four. But

:13:15. > :13:17.just look at the run. Vokes would have been in an offside position. He

:13:18. > :13:21.was clever enough to leave it for Bale and he sees the keeper rushing

:13:22. > :13:25.out. Just watch how he composed himself and takes a touch, outside

:13:26. > :13:33.of his left foot. Fix it over Akinfeev. What a finish. 3-0 Wales.

:13:34. > :13:43.Three goals for Bale and the competition. You're looking there at

:13:44. > :13:57.Euro 2016scorer. -- top scorer. So easy for Wales. What a performance.

:13:58. > :14:04.Now the score line begins to reflect Wales' supercar -- superiority. Bale

:14:05. > :14:22.round the corner to Ramsey. Bale once they return. -- wants the

:14:23. > :14:28.return. The Welsh fans singing, we want four. Can you believe it? In a

:14:29. > :14:32.major tournament. The first time since 1958. Playing the might of

:14:33. > :14:39.Russia. Welsh fans singing, we want four. Aleksandr Samedov was about to

:14:40. > :14:46.come on for Russia. You will be their final substitution. Here's

:14:47. > :14:49.Taylor. Chris Coleman now can start to think about substitutions himself

:14:50. > :15:02.I would think. Because this game is won.

:15:03. > :15:13.Samedov comes on. You would have forgiven if there was a queue to

:15:14. > :15:17.come off but the man to come off is Fyodor Smolov. As impressive as

:15:18. > :15:36.Wales have been, Russia have been woeful. Vokes and still. No angle

:15:37. > :15:42.for him. He'll want to go tonight, -- want a goal tonight, Vokes. He

:15:43. > :15:45.has led the line well. His physical presence has brought people into

:15:46. > :15:49.play. He has allowed runners in behind him. Good performance from

:15:50. > :16:03.the Welsh centre forward, some books. -- Sam Vokes.

:16:04. > :16:12.I am wondering what Cristiano Ronaldo makes of Gareth Bale

:16:13. > :16:16.grabbing this competition by the scruff of the neck? Here is Joe

:16:17. > :16:43.Allen. Aaron Ramsey. Might be just the time now to take

:16:44. > :16:51.off Gareth Bale, possibly Aaron Ramsey... I think Dave Edwards has

:16:52. > :17:02.been given the shout to get ready to come on. Personally, I would like to

:17:03. > :17:07.see Andy Keane given a run out. I think he is getting the call as

:17:08. > :17:11.well, I think it is going to be a double change -- Andy King. Aaron

:17:12. > :17:38.Ramsey knocked over. If anyone at these Euros did not

:17:39. > :17:50.know that tune before, they do now. Gareth Bale. There is an argument to

:17:51. > :17:54.say, Steve, toward the end of last season, Gareth Bale and Real Madrid

:17:55. > :18:01.for a month or so, was possibly the best player in the world. Ronaldo,

:18:02. > :18:09.Lionel Messi are probably better players but for that month, he was

:18:10. > :18:14.devastating, coming to this competition, as it stands, three

:18:15. > :18:24.goals in three games, mesmerising. Sam Vokes, sorry, Robbie. Dave

:18:25. > :18:35.Edwards is certainly going to be on for Wales shortly, their header from

:18:36. > :18:39.James Chester. -- the header. Just look there, Gareth Bale and Aaron

:18:40. > :18:47.Ramsey laughing, smiling, enjoying playing. Joe Allen. Blocked by

:18:48. > :19:05.Glushakov. He has been terrific again,

:19:06. > :19:11.absolutely terrific, Joe Allen. We see his past, the weight of it,

:19:12. > :19:15.precision and then for Aaron Ramsey just to lob the ball over the

:19:16. > :19:22.goalkeeper, brilliant Joe Allen, what performance, what a tournament

:19:23. > :19:30.Joe Allen has had so far. The Italian Joe Allen was not too bad

:19:31. > :19:40.either, what was he, Pirlo? David Edwards is an. Wales are on song.

:19:41. > :20:09.Russia are on the rack. Wales on top of Group B. Dave Edwards.

:20:10. > :20:23.Chester to Ledley. Andy King is coming on for Wales. He has had to

:20:24. > :20:28.wait patiently in this tournament. Joe Ledley wants to come off. He

:20:29. > :20:37.might have been coming off anyway. He certainly wants to come off now.

:20:38. > :20:45.Smolnikov with a good turn of pace, matched by Taylor.

:20:46. > :20:55.Gareth Bale same to Joe Ledley, go down. I think it is cramped, he was

:20:56. > :21:00.stretching his calf. Bit of cramp. Did so well to get here. Fantastic

:21:01. > :21:06.performance once again from Joe Ledley. Great to see Andy King,

:21:07. > :21:13.Premier League winner with Leicester City, but Joe Ledley was fantastic

:21:14. > :21:23.once again. Fractured fibula at the beginning of May... He makes way

:21:24. > :21:47.with 15 minutes to go for Andy King. Neil Taylor with this throw win for

:21:48. > :22:38.Wales. Ashley Williams. -- throw in. The last Russian substitute. Dmitri

:22:39. > :23:11.Kombarov. Kokorin. Smolnikov, dispossessed by Edwards.

:23:12. > :23:25.No foul on Sam Vokes. Kokorin, that was a foul by Chester. Defended very

:23:26. > :23:39.well tonight, James Chester. Bit too eager there are two when the ball,

:23:40. > :23:51.definite foul. Glushakov and Ignashevich are showing a bit of

:23:52. > :23:57.interest in this. Wayne Hennessey will want a clean sheet, goalkeepers

:23:58. > :24:12.are like that. Ignashevich is going to batter this. Hopelessly

:24:13. > :24:19.optimistically. Really, really poor free kick. You're going to see the

:24:20. > :24:21.goal from Gareth Bale, Sam Vokes left it for him, first touch

:24:22. > :24:55.perfect, outside of his left foot. He will not reach that, way too much

:24:56. > :25:01.on the pass. Extremely pure, Russia, no energy in their play, the passing

:25:02. > :25:09.has been awful, no protection from the back four for the midfielders.

:25:10. > :25:13.Absolutely terrible performance from Russia, as good as Wales have been,

:25:14. > :25:17.as good as they have been on the counterattack, it is one of the

:25:18. > :25:31.worst Russian performances I have seen in a long, long time.

:25:32. > :25:44.You can only beat what is put in front of you and Wales have done

:25:45. > :25:53.that with gusto and birth and a joy in their play. -- verve. If teams

:25:54. > :25:59.are watching this Wales performance tonight, they will not fancy them in

:26:00. > :26:02.the last 16, especially with Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen,

:26:03. > :26:05.defensively than three at the back look strong... Aggressive in their

:26:06. > :26:38.defending. Taylor. Kokorin. Dmitri Kombarov. Glushakov.

:26:39. > :26:44.Berezutski. The sliding block from Andy King, Taylor. The flick from

:26:45. > :27:00.Aaron Ramsey, Sam Vokes, Gareth Bale. Chris Gunter. David Edwards.

:27:01. > :27:16.The ball is still in play. Gareth Bale. Andy King.

:27:17. > :27:25.I think we just sit back, not speak and enjoy this all day. It must be

:27:26. > :27:28.agonising from the Russians, quite a few of their fans are heading away,

:27:29. > :27:35.actually. You cannot blame them. When did a Russian last touch the

:27:36. > :27:56.ball? Gareth Bale to Aaron Ramsey. So is a dummy to the crowd there,

:27:57. > :28:14.they sign too early. -- sold. -- dying.

:28:15. > :28:24.Going to be another change, Chris Coleman is bringing on Simon Church.

:28:25. > :28:27.And listen now to the ovation for the man who has three goals in as

:28:28. > :28:42.many games this European Championship.

:28:43. > :28:48.He is being applauded by the Russian fans as well, Robbie, that tells you

:28:49. > :28:55.something. Good decision by Chris Coleman. Taking off Batman Gareth

:28:56. > :29:12.Bale, keeping him for the next round. -- that man. Brilliant

:29:13. > :29:16.performance. In this tournament, the way he ended the season, the

:29:17. > :29:23.question I would ask at this moment in time, is he the best player in

:29:24. > :29:27.the world? Well, there will be a few young Russian football fans no doubt

:29:28. > :29:32.heading home over the next day or two who will go away from this

:29:33. > :29:37.tournament at least able to say, I sought Gareth Bale play, because

:29:38. > :29:51.they will not have much else to cheer about in this tournament.

:29:52. > :30:00.Chester. Nice flick from Chris Gunter to Dave Edwards. This is

:30:01. > :30:15.Glushakov for Russia. It is one of the most one-sided

:30:16. > :30:19.games I have seen in a European Championships and I have been

:30:20. > :30:23.watching it for a number of years, these tournaments. For Wales to come

:30:24. > :30:29.out under Elizabeth of pressure after conceding late on against

:30:30. > :30:33.England, they have come out with an energy, they have looked like they

:30:34. > :30:40.could score, defensively they have been solid. I little mistake from

:30:41. > :30:43.Chris Brunt. Dzyuba, over the bar. -- a little mistake. Scant

:30:44. > :30:53.consolation it should have been, but he could have scored. Fantastic ball

:30:54. > :30:59.into the box. He is stretching. The six foot five Russian, Dzyuba, has

:31:00. > :31:01.got to score there. It is a great ball across, great pace on it, pass

:31:02. > :31:41.to score. Akinfeev way. -- away. Chester.

:31:42. > :31:45.Whether Wales were to win Group B or not was really out of their hands.

:31:46. > :31:51.All they could control was winning their match. And waiting to see if

:31:52. > :31:54.that could be enough. But they have absolutely been in control of

:31:55. > :31:58.everything that they could have controlled. At the moment as results

:31:59. > :32:02.stand they will indeed win Group B. That could change but it does mean

:32:03. > :32:16.they would play against one of the third placed teams. And that could

:32:17. > :32:18.be advantageous to them. Samedov will take the free kick for Russia.

:32:19. > :32:37.Very poorly. Just listen to the stands now. --

:32:38. > :32:47.fans. Absolute credit to the country of Wales. They have enjoyed

:32:48. > :32:53.themselves. Sung their hearts out. This link to them and watching this

:32:54. > :33:29.team play with and passion. King just unable to find Chris

:33:30. > :33:32.Gunter. Ignashevich was there. Given away to Aaron Ramsey. Might just

:33:33. > :33:44.sort through here, Aaron Ramsey. Deflected behind by Ignashevich. He

:33:45. > :33:53.has been brilliant, Ramsey. Decided to go across Ivanov -- Ignashevich

:33:54. > :34:00.onto his right foot. Lock from the Russian defender. Ramsey's corner.

:34:01. > :34:14.Ashley Williams header. The biggest ever margin of victory

:34:15. > :34:18.in their European Championship finals match was by five goals. This

:34:19. > :34:23.happened a few times. They don't think Wales are going to match that.

:34:24. > :34:47.There is an time. But they could have done. -- isn't time.

:34:48. > :35:17.Sam Vokes has done well tonight. He has one files, led the line well.

:35:18. > :35:21.Clever. The third goal, knew he was in an offside decision. Good

:35:22. > :35:51.decision from Chris Coleman. Here comes Samedov. Dzyuba is there

:35:52. > :36:08.as well for Russia in the vain hope of getting anything back. Just two

:36:09. > :36:17.added minutes to play. Ramsey. Simon Church chasing. You have to give the

:36:18. > :36:20.Russian goalkeeper some credit. Very good and very experienced goalkeeper

:36:21. > :36:25.and he has been let down by those in front of him today. He has done more

:36:26. > :36:38.than anyone in the Russian side the score down. The desire to keep the

:36:39. > :36:40.ball out of the net by the substitute. Once they blocked the

:36:41. > :36:55.shot they want to keep a clean sheet.

:36:56. > :37:08.Russian corner. Dzyuba wins the battle and puts it over the bar.

:37:09. > :37:26.Took the ball down well. Almost overcome with the absolute

:37:27. > :37:36.joy of it. That's what it means to these funds. Look at them. -- fans.

:37:37. > :37:42.Unbelievable passion, spirit. Moved to tears by sheer pride. Pride is

:37:43. > :37:59.the word. What a night to be a Welshman. The whistle has gone.

:38:00. > :38:09.Wales are through. Chris Coleman got everything right. Cracking from

:38:10. > :38:13.Coleman. Exemplary from Allen. Ramsey was rampant and Bale was

:38:14. > :38:21.absolutely brilliant. Wales 3-0 Russia. We said before there was

:38:22. > :38:25.more to come from this group. This is not the end of the tournament.

:38:26. > :38:29.This group of players are on the way to something else. The weight is

:38:30. > :38:33.more success. This is just a part of the journey they are on. Me and my

:38:34. > :38:38.staff are just glad we are honoured with them. How far can you go? I

:38:39. > :38:44.don't know. We never know. We have to see who we get next. Like we

:38:45. > :38:53.certainly start we play with no fear. Why should we have any fear?

:38:54. > :38:57.We knew everything was on the skin. It was in our hands and we just said

:38:58. > :39:04.to go out there and enjoy ourselves -- on this game. The performance was

:39:05. > :39:07.one of the best I have been of an emboldened since I have been here.

:39:08. > :39:14.What support, what an amazing way to do it. We move on now. Here we are.

:39:15. > :39:16.Another milestone for Welsh football. The journey in this

:39:17. > :39:20.competition continues. They know travel to Paris as group winners

:39:21. > :39:28.after England's draw against Slovakia. One of the teams Wales

:39:29. > :39:32.could face in the last 16, Northern Ireland, they take on world

:39:33. > :39:38.champions Germany on Tuesday. A game you can watch live on BBC One. But

:39:39. > :39:53.from a triumphant Welsh team in goodbye.
