Wales kickstarted their World Cup qualifying campaign with a narrow 3-1 win against Kazakhstan, marked by goals from Ben Davies, Daniel James, and a late goal from Rabbi Matondo. Although the victory reflected Coach Craig Bellamy's unbeaten start, the performance was far from convincing, especially against a lower-ranked Kazakhstan team. The squad, missing Aaron Ramsey, showed signs of nervousness and struggled to dominate play effectively. As they look to improve before their next match in North Macedonia, the aim is to avoid the pitfalls experienced during their last World Cup.
Wales made a winning start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, edging past Kazakhstan with a 3-1 victory, but an improved performance is needed for future matches.
