Wales warmed up for Euro 2024 qualifying action by cruising to a 4-0 win over Gibraltar in Wrexham.
All the goals came in the first half as Kieffer Moore scored twice with Ben Davies and Nathan Broadhead also getting on the scoresheet.
After last month’s victory in Latvia, it was the first time Wales had achieved back-to-back wins since November 2021.
The performance, especially the opening period, will encourage Wales manager Rob Page ahead of the vital qualifier against Croatia on Sunday, even if Gibraltar’s standing in world football must be taken into account.
This was the maiden meeting between the two nations at senior level and also marked Wales’ return to the SToK Racecourse for the first time since beating Trinidad and Tobago there in 2019.
The Football Association of Wales were rewarded with a sell-out crowd of 10,008 as fans in the north showed their appetite to support the national team.
Ben Davies led Wales to a convincing 4-0 victory over Gibraltar on Wednesday night in Wrexham. He did so in impressive fashion.
At the Racecourse Ground of Wrexham AFC, where an Iberian Peninsula nation was playing in a friendly match, Ben led his team out and scored the game’s first goal by forcefully heading in a corner after 22 minutes had passed.
It was 4-0 before halftime thanks to a double from Kieffer Moore and a strong attempt from Nathan Broadhead to put the game away with another 45 minutes yet to play. This goal seemed to release the floodgates in north Wales.
