Wales 1(James 51’) - Bosnia 1 (Dzeko 86’)
AET: 1-1
YoPens: 2-4

I knew we’d blow it if it came to penalties, so many chances in normal and extra time to put the game to bed, but only 3 shots from 19 on target. Dan James scored a brilliant goal but our best goal threat was substituted a few minutes before their equaliser.

The shoot-out, Johnson and Williams the culprits, I groaned when Johnson walked up to take his, he looked too nervous and his shot went over the bar, Williams shot was on target but saved.

Never a nice way to decide a match. Wales the better team, substitutions except Thomas, weakened us. Cullen plenty of time to clear the ball puts it behind for a corner resulting in 40 year-old Dzeko out jumping everybody to score with a glancing header, just four minutes left of normal time.
