Wales 2-1 Slovakia: Record breaking Bale bails Coleman’s men as they keep hopes for progression

·

Wales snatched a late winner against Slovakia in their Euro 2016 opener 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 and sent their fans into raptures.

Slovakia’s Ondrej Duda punished passive Welsh defending to equalise.

But substitute Hal Robson-Kanu’s scuffed finish won it for Wales, who now have an excellent chance of progressing to the second round.
