CARDIFF: Gareth Bale hailed Wales' qualification for a first World Cup since 1958 as the greatest result in their history after a 1-0 win over Ukraine in Cardiff cruelly denied the war-torn nation a place in Qatar.

"I'm speechless because we're so happy. We did it for all our amazing fans in the country. Words can't describe our feelings at the moment." "I think we did everything we could, but I really want the people in Ukraine to remember our team, our efforts," said Petrakov.The Ukrainian national anthem was applauded by all sides of the stadium before the game and, just as on their trip to Scotland in midweek, the visitors were inspired rather than inhibited by the pressure put upon them.

"The keeper from Wales did an unbelievable job. He's definitely man of the match with his incredible saves."Wales had barely threatened the Ukrainian goal in the first half, but in Bale have a star capable of changing the course of matches in an instant. His free-kick on 34 minutes was headed off target until Yarmolenko tried to head it to safety and only succeeded in deflecting the ball past the helpless Georgiy Bushchan."He did it against Austria with two goals and he's done it tonight with a free-kick. Somebody with that quality, he always poses a threat."
