Neil Taylor played a full 90 minutes for Wales as they demolished Moldova 4-0 last night to kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Swans full-back took up his usual place in the Wales starting XI at Cardiff City Stadium and played his part in ensuring there was no Euro 2016 hangover.

Taylor played the entire match, something he may not do too often this season for the Swans if Francesco Guidolin is to be believed.

Gylfi Sigurdsson also played a full part in his sides World Cup qualifier, as Iceland were held to a 1-1 draw in Kiev against Ukraine despite taking the lead inside five minutes.

Swans goalkeepr Lukasz Fabianski was involved in a dramatic World Cup qualifier for Poland.

Fabianski started as Poland took a 2-0 lead into half time in their match with Kazakhstan, before being pegged back to 2-2.

A brace of goals inside seven minutes from Sergei Khizhnichenko saw Fabianski's side having to settle for a point in a heated contest containing ten yellow cards.

Ki Sung-Yueng captained South Korea in their opening matches of the second Asian qualifying section for the 2018 World Cup.

His side defeated China 3-2 on Thursday before drawing 0-0 with Syria on Tuesday.

In South America, Jefferson Montero started as Ecuador came up against a resurgent Brazil.

The winger failed to stop his side going down 3-0, as Neymar scored from the penalty spot before a double from debutant Gabriel Jesus.

Montero also started Ecuador's second game, a 2-1 defeat against Peru, but was replaced by Michael Arroyo with four minutes to go - still enough time for Arroyo to get a red card.

Fourteen Swans players were also involved in U21, U19 and U18 matches this week.

Both Josh Sheehan and Ryan Hedges featured for Wales U21 as they went down 4-0 at home to Denmark on Friday night.

While Hedges and Daniel James started on Tuesday night as the side stumbled to a 1-1 draw with Luxembourg.

Striker Oliver McBurnie played in both of Scotland's U21 matches but drew a blank in front of goal - picking up a booking against Ukraine.
