    It's just not Brennan Johnson's night tonight is it.

    Ben Davies does well to read play and make an interception.

    He's then fouled, but, with the advantage from the referee, Jordan James threads through to Brennan Johnson who drags a shot wide from a tight angle.

    Harry Wilson and Neco Williams combine well on the left.

    Latvia fail to clear their lines and the ball drops to Brennan Johnson who drives a shot goalwards. Roberts Ozols spreads his arms wide and makes a good block.

    Aaron Ramsey going off will worry Cardiff City fans ahead of the south Wales derby on Saturday.

    His night is over less than four minutes into the second-half.

    Neco Williams is perhaps fortunate to escape a booking following a somewhat cynical challenge on Eduards Emsis.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 51 mins

    Latvia 0-1 Wales

    Robert Page makes his first change of the night. Captain and goalscorer Aaron Ramsey is replaced by David Brooks.

    Andreijs Ciganiks whips in a teasing cross from the left, but there's no-one there to get on the end of it.

    Wales have only lost one game when Aaron Ramsey has scored.

    That was in 2013 away to Macedonia, 2-1, and he scored from the penalty spot.

    But lets leave that lie shall we?

    Latvia 0-1 Wales

    Wales waste two opportunities to get the ball into the box from the left after Aaron Ramsey goes short from a corner.

    Nevertheless, Robert Page's side are on the front foot from the outset of the second half.

    Wales will stay fourth in Group D as things stand but, crucially, they will close the gap to Croatia and Turkey to just three points.

    Nia Jones
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    There was wave after wave of Welsh attack and they were looking really exciting, but there comes a time when you've got to be ruthless in front of goal.

    For 40 minutes I was loving life, I almost didn't recognise the Wales team I was watching.

    Nathan Blake

    It's just poor finishing, it's as simple as that.

    You're either ruthless or you're not. It's poor decision-making.

    The keeper's on eggshells, for the penalty he was laying down before Aaron Ramsey kicked the ball, so just hit the target.

    Ian Walsh
    Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

    We're just being too nice in front of goal. You've got to be ruthless, we've had so many chances.

    You can't afford to do that and it will only give Latvia a little bit of hope - they were smashed a few days ago.

    I just feel another goal will put Latvia to bed.

    Put your foot on the pedal even more.

    As soon as you come out for the second half, start high tempo and put the press on them.

    I have to say, it's a brilliant atmosphere seeing fans mix like this.

    So often fans get a raw deal, but the Wales fans have been impeccable all [qualifying] tournament, everywhere they go.

  19. HALF-TIME - Latvia 0-1 Walespublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 11 September 2023

    All in all, a very good 45 minutes from Wales. Robert Page's men have dominated and, truth be told, should be further ahead.

    Aaron Ramsey's 21st international goal has the visitors in front, but Latvia improved late on there and created some decent chances having been second-best for most of the half.

    A big 45 to come after the break.
