Euro 2024 qualifying: Reaction as Wales beat Croatia

1. Wales beat Croatia in a Euro 2024 qualification game at the Cardiff City Stadium
2. Rob Page's side keep hopes of qualification alive thanks to famous win
3. Wales triumph despite injury list which includes Aaron Ramsey and Brennan Johnson
4. Wales the more threatening side in first half
5. Harry Wilson, winning his 50th cap, scores twice early in second half
6. Mario Pasalic pulls one back with a header but Wales hold on

A lovely ball by Lovro Majer drifts just wide of Danny Ward's far post without a Croatian touch.

Ward is still yet to make a meaningful save.

Wales have been outstanding.

Dan James' contribution, that'll help his confidence now for the next 30 minutes.

Iwan Roberts

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru

The first ball from Neco Williams wasn't a bad one, but the second one from Daniel James was brilliant.

Harry Wilson has run across the box and there's no-one near him.

It's a great header.

"It's simply impossible to replace what Gareth Bale gives you in the big games."

Harry Wilson... "hold my beer".

Wales 2-0 Croatia

Harry Wilson!

Wales in dreamland!

Daniel James crosses and Harry Wilson flicks a header into the corner of the net, a deft touch!

What a moment!

Wales are 2-0 in front, Croatia cannot believe it.

SUBSTITUTION

Boma Sosa replaces Borna Barisic after Marcelo Brozocvic fires wide for the visitors.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

Croatia are going to have to come at us, and it could give Wales more opportunities on the counter.

SUBSTITUTION

A first change for Wales as David Brooks is replaced by Daniel James.

Brooks was outstanding. He's a class act, Wales have really missed him.

With this shape and with David Brooks and Harry Wilson playing as well as they have, you have to say (whisper it quietly mind) Wales haven't missed Aaron Ramsey tonight.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

This result could be huge.

Iwan Roberts

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru

An open game could suit us.

That sounds like a mad thing to say with the talent Croatia have, but the energy we have with the wing-backs and the likes of Jordan James and Ethan Ampadu in the middle of the pitch could help.

Wales' draw in Split was so smash and grab, so unexpected, but they have been the dominant team so far tonight.

There is nothing fortunate about this lead, if anything, 1-0 flatters the World Cup semi-finalists.

Kath Morgan

Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Cymru

The boys are taking the game to Croatia now.

We look full of confidence and we have to keep this up.

And Turkey are still goalless at home to Latvia. Which is nice.

Iwan Roberts

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru

It's such a clinical goal.

It's exactly what we hoped for and exactly what we deserve.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

What a finish.

Golden cap, golden child, on his 50th cap.

It's a beautiful run through.

He gave the keeper no chance.

What a way to mark your 50th cap, Harry Wilson!

Wales 1-0 Croatia

Wales' performance has the goal it deserves!

Harry Wilson lifts the roof off the Cardiff City Stadium!

It's a wonderful goal, with Wales' best two players combining.

David Brooks' wonderful lofted pass and a cushioned, clipped finish by Wilson after he controlled the ball on his chest.

Lift off for Wales!

SUBSTITUTIONS

A triple change for the visitors.

Josip Brekalo, Petar Musa and Josip Juranovic are replaced by Josip Stanisic, Mario Pasalic and Dion Drena Beljo.

We are back under way.

Modric still has it

Simon Church

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

To play at that level and continue to boss a game at 38 is incredible.
