Wales keep up strong start in qualifying with win over Latvia

Kieffer Moore’s header means Rob Page’s side have taken four points from their opening two games.

WALES CONTINUED THEIR promising start to Euro 2024 qualifying with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Latvia in Cardiff.

But Wales boss Rob Page will be delighted with what many will consider an above-par start ahead of June qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey. Latvia were a far different proposition to the one Wales had met on Saturday, 133rd in the FIFA world rankings and 105 places below the Dragons who also had the advantage of a sell-out Cardiff City Stadium behind them.

The former Real Madrid star and Wales captain barely had time to take his seat before Daniel James sprinted past Roberts Savalnieks down the left. Latvia also had a useful focal point in 6ft 5in forward Roberts Uldrikis and were a nuisance at corners, Danny Ward first denying Marcis Oss with a sprawling save before Kristers Tobers headed over.
