Lovely equaliser.
Really neat touch and a lovely right-footed shot past Wayne Hennessey.
It's a first Poland goal for substitute Jakub Kaminski.

There is an element of frustration to the Polish attacking play now.

Every time Poland go through the centre the Welsh defensive midfield are closing gaps, getting interceptions or the ball is running through to the keeper.
The players all trust the process and they understand it, they just carry out their jobs.

Absolutely delighted for Jonny Williams, so many times he looks for the pass first but that goal is born out of the confidence from the season he's had at Swindon.
It's about us hanging onto this result, the Polish fans won't be pleased to see a second-string Wales team come out here and outplay their team.

Mark Harris curls wide with the outside of his foot from about 25-yards.
Wales aren't sitting on their lead, they are sniffing a second.
Post update
Poland 0-1 Wales
What is effectively a Wales B team is beating a side with Robert Lewandowski leading their line.
Covering Wales isn't like it used to be, I'll tell you that.

Frustration creeping in for Poland, a lot of frustration in that tackle.

Wes Burns is replaced by Neco Williams.
Really good debut for Burns.
YELLOW CARD
Bartosz Bereszynski is booked for a hefty challenge on Rabbi Matondo.
SUBSTITUTION
Poland 0-1 Wales
Jakub Kaminski and Szymon Zurkowski replace Mateusz Klich and Jacek Goralski in a double change for the hosts.

Wales block as Poland threaten.
Robert Lewandowski then misses a sitter, but he was well offside and probably knew that.

Poland 0-1 Wales
Wes Burns - with his Gareth Bale tribute haircut - is absolutely everywhere! He's leaving it all out there.
You can tell how much this means to him.

What a goal Jonny Williams.
It's been a decent start, with Wales getting into some dangerous areas, the introduction of Rabbi Matondo has had instant impact.
Williams takes the strike on and hits the target.
We spoke about a bit more end product and finally we get it from Jonny Williams.

I have to say fantastic goal, really positive play from Rabbi Matondo who runs at the defence again.
Jonny Williams pings it low across the keeper and keeps his head over the ball, keeper dives but it's dipping and just bounces in front of him and beats him all ends up.
Good positive play from Wales.
GOAL - Poland 0-1 Wales
Jonny Williams
What a hit Joniesta!
Rabbi Matondo's surging run stretches Poland again and he finds Jonny Williams who fires across goal, right-footed and Kamil Grabara cannot keep it out.
Wales' fringe players are doing them proud.

Poland look to latch onto a loose ball, but Wayne Hennessey is alert to the danger.
At the other end Mark Harris cuts inside and sees a shot blocked.
End-to-end start to the second half.
Matondo motors
Poland 0-0 Wales

Rabbi Matondo has got really good pace but I love his trickery.
He chose to go outside the defender, shaped to shoot and he was able to get his cross into the penalty area quite comfortably.

In the absence of Gareth Bale and Brennan Johnson, it is Wales' attacking players who have caught the eye so far.
