Ramsey takes it: he has seven team-mates to aim at it in the box. Hal Robson-Kanu scored the winner as Wales beat Slovakia 2-1 in their first ever match at a European Championship finals. And Kozacik, in fairness, does well to catch it cleanly amid a ruck of bodies. Gunter floats a cross to the back post, from where Taylor tries to nod it back across the face of goal. Slovakia have got their danders up now, and Wales need to steady themselves. There’ll be an epoch-defining party in Bordeaux tonight, for one thing. 56 min: Trouble now for Wales, as Mak ghosts in behind Ashley Williams to collect a fine through-ball from deep. But Wales held on to earn a win that could see them extend their stay at their first major international tournament in 58 years beyond the group stage. It is close to the keeper, however, and Kozacik makes a diving save. It was fractionally too long, which is just as well for Ashley Williams, who had lost sight of Skrtel.

Mind you, it’s hard to think what more he could have done after his effort on Jonny Williams in the first period.

Nemec might have denied Wales with four minutes left, but his header clattered the post, while both Bale and Ramsey wasted late opportunities to put the game beyond doubt. Wales can’t get a hold of midfield at all. Ramsey tip-toed his way past one defender at the edge of the box and then slightly lost the run of it but retained enough awareness to flick it to Robson-Kanu, running in to his right. Ward just about pushes it away but two Slovakians bear down on the rebound. Robson-Kanu killed a pass from Allen and then laid the ball off to Bale, who played a delicious pass with the outside of his boot to Ramsey, darting forward again from deep. Coleman wanted to bring on Robson-Kanu too, but the fifth official couldn’t work the sign properly so Robson-Kanu will have to wait. The goal was engineered by a fine run from Robert Mak, who cut in from the right and beat Aaron Ramsey and David Edwards before setting up the substitute to strike low between two defenders and beyond Ward from near the penalty spot. 83 min: Lovely play by Wales. 62 min: Edwards brings down Weiss to concede a freekick about 25 yards out, to the left.
