Wales are still unbeaten with Craig Bellamy at the helm after a very hard fought goalless draw away to Turkey on the weekend. Bellamy praised his squad’s grit in a hostile atmosphere and attention now turns to Iceland, where if results go Wales’ way, they could be promoted in the nations league.

00:00Wales under Craig Bellamy are proving extremely difficult to beat. Last month he became the
00:07first Wales manager to go three games unbeaten in his first three fixtures, then he became
00:13the first in four games and now five. The goldest draw away to Turkey was an impressive
00:19result given the onslaught from Turkish players with Wales having only four shots compared
00:23to Turkey's 25 and almost half the possession of the home side. Turkey missed a penalty
00:30late in the game which proved a massive let-off for Bellamy's travelling side, but a resolute
00:34defensive effort in particular from centre-backs Ben Davies and Joe Roden will hopefully become
00:39a stepping stone as they look to end a campaign unbeaten when Iceland travel to Cardiff for
00:44Tuesday night's game. After the Nations League all eyes will turn to World Cup qualification
00:50where in less than a month Wales will find out who they'll be playing as they aim to
00:54qualify for a second successive World Cup in 2026.
