AL RAYYAN: A late penalty by veteran striker Gareth Bale earned Wales a 1-1 draw with the US on Monday to keep away from a dropping return to the World Cup after 64 years in an interesting Group B encounter at a raucous Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
Dragged down by U.S. defender Tim Ream within the field, Wales’ all-time high scorer stepped as much as the penalty spot within the 82nd minute and made no mistake by hammering the ball into the highest nook in entrance of the “Purple Wall” of followers.
With one of many youngest groups on the match and themselves returning after eight years, the US began energetically and took a well-deserved 1-0 lead with a thirty sixth minute aim from Timothy Weah. They have been unfortunate not to enter the break with a much bigger benefit in opposition to the flat Welsh.
Weah, the son of Liberian president and former World Participant of the Yr George Weah, timed his run to perfection after a beautifully-weighted move from Christian Pulisic and slipped the ball previous Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
