ROME (Reuters) - Wales showed great resolve and fighting spirit in defeat as they withstood relentless Italian pressure to scrape through to the European Championship knockout stages, manager Rob Page said on Sunday.

Matteo Pessina's goal gave Italy a 1-0 halftime lead and sparked fears Switzerland - who beat Turkey 3-1 in the other Group A match - could come up with the goal difference swing they needed to take the second automatic qualification spot.

When asked if the result felt like a win, Page told reporters:"Of course it does. Because we've got second spot and that winning feeling. "I didn't want to know what was going on in Baku but at halftime I was told they were 2-0 up and we were a goal behind. We knew it was about a five-goal swing," he said.
