    Wales 0-0 Ghana

    What a save from Lawrence Ati-Zigi!

    Dan James plants a header back across goal and it's a wonderful stop by Ati-Zigi who tips the ball onto the post.

    A fine freekick from David Brooks whips into the box, but Ghana head away for a corner.

    These retro Wales shirts are absolutely lovely.

    In my mind, there's an alternative commentary on the game in the cut-glass accents that accompany those British Pathe archive videos.

    Not huge numbers here by any means, but the Ghana fans are certainly making themselves heard.

    Former Ghana boss and Tottenham legend Chris Hughton is another notable name I've spotted in the directors box.

    Some Ghanaian football royalty sat in the directors' box tonight.

    Michael Essien, the former Chelsea midfielder, has just taken his seat at Cardiff City Stadium.

    That was an unbelievable ball from Neco Williams there, splitting the defence in two.

    A beautiful ball.

    A first break for Wales, but Ghana cut out a cross and snuff out the danger.

    The main thing for me is that the home form needs to turn around.

    In his opening five matches he won four, in his last five he's only won one so that needs to improve regardless of who is in the crowd tonight.

    That retro Wales kit is outstanding.

    Can we even call it retro? It's probably beyond retro.

    We are talking Wanderers versus Old Etonians-era, just at the tail end of the industrial revolution.

    Swedish referee Oscar Johnson, no relation to Brennan, gets us under way at a sparse Cardiff City Stadium.

  13. Nations League A 'big' for Walespublished at 19:43 BST

    Being in group A in the Nations League is big for us, and we could have the opportunity to be the opening game in the next Euros.

    Craig Bellamy has said he wants to lead Wales into major competitions, so it is a good start tonight against Ghana to show what we are capable of in the next two years.

    Neco Williams has had the taste of a massive club like Liverpool, then he found a home at Nottingham Forest which done him the world of good.

    What he's done this year has been absolutely fantastic, and I know he missed that penalty, but for Wales he has been brilliant and a gem since the likes of Chris Gunter retired and Connor Roberts has been injured.

    Those 150th anniversary Wales tracksuits are great, but is anyone else reminded of the Wes Anderson film, The Royal Tenenbaums?

    Former Wales striker on Match of the Day Wales

    The last few years we've seen him grow in his career, he started from the bottom and the last two years we've seen him grow into a superstar.

    We saw him at Bournemouth, he found his game.

    He added goals to his game and that has taken him to Manchester City where he's been the match winner in cup finals.

    It's been brilliant.

    Carlos Queiroz is a very experienced manager, he's been at some of the top clubs in the world like Real Madrid and Manchester United.

    We saw what he was capable of doing with Iran when we saw that game against Wales in the World Cup.

    Wales v Ghana (19:45 BST)

    • This will only be the second time Wales have faced an African opponent, previously losing 4-0 to Tunisia in a June 1998 friendly in Tunis.
    • Wales are unbeaten in their past six games when facing an opponent for the first time (W4 D2); the last side to beat them on the first attempt was North Macedonia in September 2013 (2-1 in a 2014 World Cup qualifier).
    • Ghana have lost each of their past five internationals and have only won one of their past 13 against European nations, beating Switzerland 2-0 in November 2022 (D4 L8).
    • Wales have only won one of their past 11 friendlies (D6 L4) and are winless in all three under Craig Bellamy so far (D1 L2) – the last Wales manager to not win any of his first four friendlies in charge was Bobby Gould in 1997 (D2 L2).
    • Despite Ghana being the ninth different nation Carlos Queiroz has taken charge of, he has only faced Wales once previously, winning 2-0 with Iran at the 2022 World Cup.
    • Wales won four of their first five home games under Craig Bellamy (D1), but have since won just one of five on home turf.
    • Dan James has scored in his past two starts for Wales, the only time he has done so for his national team. Since his debut in November 2018, the Leeds winger (10 & 10) is one of just two players to reach double figures for both goals and assists for Wales, along with Harry Wilson (15 & 11).
    • Ghana’s Antoine Semenyo has scored just once across his past 27 international appearances, going eight games without a goal since netting versus Chad in March 2025.
  20. 'Bellamy will enjoy the test'published at 19:34 BST

    Wales v Ghana (19:45 BST)

    Robert Earnshaw
    Former Wales striker on Match of the Day Wales

    I think what Craig Bellamy will love about this tonight is that it's a test, they have a lot of players that we know about like Antoine Semenyo and Brandon Thomas-Asante.

    They are going to be fast, quick in transition and break quickly.

    So it will be a test, and Craig will want that so we can get better.
