Bulgaria lost 0: 1 away to Wales in a Nations League match. The last minute tragedy caught up with the “lions” in Cardiff, after a few days ago our team lost the victory to Ireland in the same way. In the fourth minute of added time, subsidiary Neco Williams took all three points to the “dragons”. The 19-year-old Liverpool talent intercepted a Jonathan Williams cross with his head after Delev knocked him down.
Both teams entered the game rather cautiously and the goalkeepers got bored in the first 10 minutes. Only the tension in our penalty area will be remembered in the 6th minute after a corner kick, but the main referee ruled a violation against Georgi Georgiev.
Little by little, the locals were imposing possession of the ball, but our team kept them away from the penalty area.
The first opportunity for the “lions” was opened in the 24th minute. Galin Ivanov received the ball from the left, faked an opponent and looked for the far corner. However, a rebound went to the feet of the defender and sent the ball to the corner. During the cross from the corner, Christian Dimitrov was stopped in the penalty area, but the penalty claims were ignored.
Wales responded with a quick attack down the right wing, finished off by Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid star fired without delay, but his shot was blocked.
An error by Georgi Kostadinov in the 36th minute allowed Bale to launch a new attack from the right, which ended with a dangerous cross into the penalty area, but Christian Dimitrov struck the ball with his head.
Two minutes before the end, Bulgarian captain Georgi Kostadinov received the first yellow card of the match. Galin Ivanov was pressured by Connor Roberts and the ball was taken from him. This forced Kostadinov to arrest him with a tactical violation, which brought him an official warning.
Despite the long distance, Gareth Bale shot directly from a direct free kick, but Georgiev was not difficult and caught the ball calmly. Seconds before the end of the first half, Christian Dimitrov made a mistake while clearing the ball, returning with the He headed to Brooks, but his volley went far from the gate.

The second half started with a much more aggressive play by the “dragons” and this led to several changes in the penalty area against Georgiev. However, with joint efforts, the “tricolor” did not allow serious dangers.
In the 58th minute, James jumped behind us down the left wing and sent a comfortable pass into the box to Gareth Bale. However, his ball was killed and did not go off. Soon after, Matthew Smith received a yellow card for a foul on Goranov.
Half an hour before the end, both coaches took their first turns. Dimitar Iliev replaced Kraev and Robson-Sanu replaced Moore on the Dragons team.
The “Lions” took their first shot after the break only in the 63rd minute. Nedelev crossed from a corner and Karabelov could not find the outline of the gate with his head. Daniel James broke from the left in the 68th minute and after a double pass from Brooks came out in good position, but his shot was blocked by Georgiev.
The hosts came very close to scoring in the 75th minute, but luck was on our side. A great diagonal pass from Gareth Bale put the ball at James’ feet, who promptly returned to attacker Brooks, but his shot hit the outside goal set.
8 minutes before the end of the game, 18-year-old Slavia midfielder Filip Krastev made his debut for the “tricolor”.
In the first minute of added time Gareth Bale fired a dangerous shot from a distance, but the ball went over the door. And when everyone was waiting for the last signal from the referee, it was ice rain for Bulgaria. Reserve Neco Williams took advantage of a moment of inattention in our penalty area and headed to bring the victory to Wales.
