In a gripping Uefa Nations League encounter at Cardiff City Stadium, Wales managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Montenegro. The match, which took place under the guidance of Wales' new manager, Craig Bellamy, kept fans on the edge of their seats, especially as the team continues to build momentum early in Bellamy’s tenure.
The pivotal moment came in the 36th minute when Harry Wilson stepped up to convert a penalty, after a foul by Montenegro's Vladimir Jovovic.

With key players like Aaron Ramsey, Daniel James, and Ethan Ampadu unavailable due to injuries, and the absence of suspended players Brennan Johnson and Jordan James, Wales had to dig deep into their squad. Bellamy made significant changes, yet the team delivered a determined performance, showing resilience throughout the match.
The second half saw Montenegro pressing for an equalizer, with substitute Andrija Radulovic smashing a left-footed effort against the Welsh crossbar. It was a nervy moment for the home side, but they held firm. Joe Allen, one of Wales' veterans, was brought on to stabilize the midfield and help maintain possession, which proved crucial in calming the game down during the tense final moments.
Wales’ defense was equally impressive, keeping Montenegro at bay despite their attempts to push forward. The clean sheet was a testament to the team’s organization at the back, while Wilson’s leadership in attack was clear, as he continually sought the ball and posed a threat.
This win leaves Wales unbeaten in the Nations League campaign under Bellamy, with the team sitting in a favorable position in Group B. The passionate display from the Welsh side continues to bolster hopes that Bellamy’s era could bring renewed success to the national team.
As the match concluded with a narrow 1-0 scoreline, Welsh fans can take pride in their team’s grit and determination. With each passing game, Bellamy’s influence is becoming more apparent, and the team seems to be growing in confidence, setting up an exciting finish to the group stage.
