1 Gareth Bale

Wales held on admirably to earn a 0-0 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Chris Coleman’s men spent most of the match on the backfoot against a side who played at 2014 World Cup in Brazil, handing them a valuable point as they attempt to qualify for Euro 2016, which will be held in France.

Gareth Bale nearly opened the scoring in the seventh minute but he was just beaten to Chris Gunter’s low cross by Toni Sunjic, who forced the ball out for a corner.

Six minutes later the Real Madrid star just failed with a lob over the goalkeeper, which fell wide of the near post but, other than that, neither side looked too threatening as the game wore on in the Welsh capital.

After the break, though, Wayne Hennessey earned his corn in the home side’s goal. First he somehow denied Haris Medunjanin’s close range shot and then he twice stopped goal-bound Edin Dzeko strikes.

The Crystal Palace man was then at his best again to stop a Medunjanin dipper before Wales stopper Ashley Williams headed over at the other end.

Hennessey, currently behind Julian Speroni in the pecking order at Selhurst Park, then produced another magnificent save to tip a Miralem Pjanic free-kick wide and keep the Welsh on level terms.

A low Bale drive then tested the alertness of Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic as the game entered its closing stages and the ex-Spurs star later had a penalty claim waved away and saw Begovic paw away his fine shot in injury time before Vladislav Bezborodov called time on the game in Wales.
