USA 1-1 Wales: Gareth Bale has won the Champions League five times as a club footballer. On Monday, the 33-year-old attacker had his moment of supremacy at the international level. Bale scored the game-winning goal for Wales against the U. S. in his World Cup debut (1–1).
Terry Medwin scored the final goal for Wales in a World Cup on June 17, 1958. The now-ninety-year-old former attacker has a replacement after 64 years. Bale converted a penalty against the USA 10 minutes from the end and then took his place behind the ball. “Of course you had anxieties, but I had trust in my own ability,” Wales skipper said as he returned his gaze to ITV.
It worked out because Bale hit brilliantly, ensuring that Wales and the US balanced each other out. “I’m the usual penalty taker, so I have to accept responsibility,” the Los Angeles FC forward explained. “Occasionally you miss, but tonight was about serving my nation. It was successful.”
USA 1-1 Wales: Rob Page’s praise on Bale
There was absolutely no question who would attempt the penalty with Rob Page. When questioned if Bale would always take the penalty, the team manager stated unequivocally that he would. “One hundred percent. He has never disappointed us. Everything revolved around Bale once more.”
Wales didn’t get off to a good start in the game, but owing to the penalty, they came away with a point. “We showed character. So if there is one thing I’m certain of, it’s that this group never gives up. We fight on and constantly find a way. Finally, it’s a well-deserved point. We are attempting to build on this.”
In other game-related news, numerous journalists were startled to see that 43,418 people were in attendance between the United States and Welsh on Monday evening at the Ahmed bin Ali stadium. In accordance with the FIFA website, the stadium can only hold 40,000 people.
