David Brooks was the last kick of the last game in Skopje, relieving a valuable 1-1 World Cup qualifier against North Macedonia.
Wales was better overall, but at the first moment of the strike, he suffered a sucker punch with a dramatic finishing that recorded North Macedonia’s score.
Joe Allen’s terrible back pass was for Joe Rodon, but was cut by Bojan Miovski and he finished the ball with a ball under Karl Darlow.
Wales came down and went out, but in a minute, Kieffer Moore took his head to a long ball, and Brooks squeezed the ball across the line.
The side of CRAIG BELLAMY is trying to arrive at the 2026 World Cup.
Belgium hasn’t won the ball yet in GROUP J, but in the 2026 finals of Canada, Mexico and the United States, Wales can be expensive for automatic places.
North Macedonia insisted on the sixth consecutive victory (the longest victory in their history), which wiped Liechtenstein on Saturday, and continued to start a strong start on Tuesday evening.
Bellami after ‘Best Performance’ after the acquisition
Wales Boss Craig Bellami:
“Perhaps you have been shocked for how you played in the last few minutes, and I felt that we were a better team. You have to be honest.
Brooks struck the last kick of the game.
“And it is not rude at all. I thought we had controlled the game. I was able to make one or two better decisions in one -third of the last third, but still set my goal.
“I was really happy with the performance. Of course I want the result, and I want the result, and leaving it here is a way to disappoint me, but I have to accept it in a way to accept it.
“It will give us that power. I thought it was one of the best performances since I came here. It’s a very difficult place to play soccer.
