Wales snatched a late winner to make a dramatic return to major tournaments after a 58-year absence. Gareth Bale's dipping free-kick gave Wales a half-time lead before Ondrej Duda punished passive Welsh defending to equalise. Substitute Hal Robson-Kanu's scuffed finish won it for Wales late on and the rest is history! please log in to view this image Head to Head – W2 D0 L1 07 Oct 2006 Wales 1 Slovakia 5 – (UEFA European Championship Qualifier) 12 Sep 2007 Slovakia 2 Wales 5 (UEFA European Championship Qualifier) 11 Jun 2016 - Wales 2 Slovakia 1 (EURO 2016) Wales Squad - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47532944 Buy Tickets - https://www.eticketing.co.uk/fawtickets-english/ Elis James Podcast - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0739n30 EURO 2020 Finals - https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/matches/#/dw/1185 Background Info Slovakia officially the Slovak Republic is a landlocked country.

COME ON WALES !! Make me dream again !! The Euros were amazing. Just the best time ever being able to cheer on our country. The Belgium match is my favourite ever night of football. I need more of that drug.
Hopefully we'll see Giggs make some progress. The crowd will be buzzing which should give the players a boost. 2 - 0 Wales.
See McBurnie played an hour in Kazakhstan while they are getting thumped. Thought he’d been ill...that won’t do him much good physically or confidence wise.
Because you would be honoured and privileged to do a thread for the world's best team? Anyway, enough. Hope Wales have a good qualifying campaign and reach the finals. Along with Scotland for a laugh.
My earlier confidence has leaked away! Think this could be a hard fought draw now, which wouldn't be the worst result.
WE are playing very well, just need the second goal, need to step it up second half, James and Brooks having a very good game, Joe Allen doing what he does best also.......................
