Latest PostThank you and goodnight
FT: Wales 1-0 Mexico
So that was about as much fun as you can have watching a friendly, right?
It was a decent game, with a lovely goal and we witnessed one of football's good guys make history for his nation.
Congratulations to Chris Gunter and thank you for following along with us tonight.
We will be back on Tuesday for a return to World Cup qualifying action as the Czech Republic visit the Welsh capital.
Until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Wales celebrate Gunter century with victory
FT: Wales 1-0 Mexico
A much-changed Wales side marked Chris Gunter's 100th cap with a friendly win over Mexico.
Read our match report from the Cardiff City Stadium.

I'm made up for the guy, can't think of a nicer guy to get to the 100 caps first.
'I am living a dream'
FT: Wales 1-0 Mexico
Wales centurion Chris Gunter told Sky Sports: "I am living a dream I never dreamt I think, it feels fantastic. It is nice to get the win it makes it even more enjoyable.
"Winning is the main thing, it's been a tough week.
"I thought we were outstanding and fully deserved it.
"To share the pitch with players I've shared the pitch for so many years, it's very special for me. I'm lost for words really."

I don't think anyone has done themselves any harm, they're giving Robert Page and Ryan Giggs options. It's going to be tough selection for the Euros. The squad is deeper than we might have thought.
FULL-TIME
Wales 1-0 Mexico
There we are.
Mexico fire wide with the last kick of the game through Hirving Lozano.
A very good friendly win for an experimental Wales side and a clean sheet for Chris Gunter on his historic night.
We will bring you some reaction as soon as we get it, so stick with us for a bit.

Wales win a corner and should be able to see the game out from this situation with 90 seconds remaining.

What I like about these young players is they're not afraid to get involved. The Mexicans have scrapped a lot and the Welsh haven't been frightened of it.

Another player who has done himself no harm tonight in terms of winning a place on Tuesday? Ben Cabango. So composed.

Hector Herrera's header balloons up and is easy for Wayne Hennessey to gather.

We will have four minutes of stoppage time.

I think knowing what Wales have now, it makes your mind up that Ben Davies is going to be the left centre-back.
Post update
Wales 1-0 Mexico
This is one of the better Wales performances in a friendly in recent years.
Mexico are ranked ninth in the world and if they hold on, this will be a nice win.

It's been a very good performance - we'd hoped it would be. It's been fantastic for Wales and every player who's stepped on the pitch has done their part and they deserve it.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 1-0 Mexico
Forget what I said about the three windows for substitutions.
Wales make their final change. Jonny Williams receives treatment and is replaced by Connor Roberts. Looks precautionary.

Why risk Gareth Bale? It might simply come down to him wanting to be involved in Chris Gunter's big night. They are big pals.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 1-0 Mexico
Diego Lainez is on for Edson Alvarez and mercifully, I think that's it for the substitutions. You can make six, but I think only in three windows, now passed.
Phew.

I think this reiterates Gareth Bale's love for playing for Wales. A lot of players would have just taken tonight off but it shows how much he loves it and wants to be here.
FULL-TIME
FT: Czech Republic 1-1 Belgium
Decent result for Wales.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 1-0 Mexico
Somewhat surprisingly, Gareth Bale replaces Rabbi Matondo.
