Wales held by Isreal


Wales were forced to wait to qualify for their first major tournament since 1958 after being held to a 0-0 draw against Israel.

A win would have been enough to guarantee their place at Euro 2016 but it was to be a frustrating afternoon at the Cardiff City Stadium and that frustration was doubled later in the day when Belgium netted a late winner in Cyprus.
Israel came for a 0-0 and got it as Gareth Bale was marked out of the game and Andy King missed two presentable chances in either half but Wales could still have qualified if Belgium had failed to beat Cyprus - and it looked on the cards until Eden Hazard's 86th minute winner.
For now Chris Coleman's men remain one point away from securing qualification with two games to go against Bosnia (a) and Andorra (h).
