Welsh talisman Gareth Bales’ first half deflected free kick was the pivotal moment of the game. Andriy Yarmolenko was the unlucky player to head the ball into his own net. Wales had goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey to thank for an astonishing display to keep Ukraine out. Time and again Hennessey pulled off saves to ensure the Welsh made the finals for the first time since 1958. Wales line up in Group B with England, United States and Iran.
