"Kieffer Moore gave Wales the lead in the 24th minute when he poked home on the rebound after Liam Cullen's header was kept out by Temirlan Anarbekov. Kazakhstan responded well, though, with Galymzhan Kenzhebek curling narrowly wide in the 39th minute before seeing an effort tipped onto the crossbar by Karl Darlow six minutes into the second half. Kenzhebek went close again eight minutes later, and Maxim Samordov was also thwarted by Darlow as the hosts continued to pile on the pressure."
"Wales are top of Group J with 10 points from five games. North Macedonia are second with eight points having played a game fewer. Belgium are third with four points from two games going into their clash with minnows Liechtenstein. Wales face Belgium next month in Cardiff in the game that will likely decide who progresses automatically to the finals from Group J."
Wales secured a 1-0 victory over Kazakhstan in Astana, with Kieffer Moore scoring in the 24th minute after a Liam Cullen header was initially stopped. Kazakhstan applied significant pressure for large periods, seeing a Galymzhan Kenzhebek shot curl narrowly wide and another effort tipped onto the crossbar by Karl Darlow. Darlow produced multiple saves, denying Maxim Samordov and others as the hosts pressed. Serikzhan Muzhikov hit the crossbar from a late free-kick, but Wales held on. Wales now lead Group J with 10 points and will face Belgium next month in a pivotal qualifier.
