Wales end campaign with win

Wales finished their historic Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with a patchy win against Andorra - but that did not detract from the party atmosphere at a delirious Cardiff City Stadium.

Having already secured their place at a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, Chris Coleman`s side were dominant but frustrated by diligent Andorran defending in a goalless first half.

The breakthrough finally came five minutes after the interval, as Aaron Ramsey fired in a rebound after Ashley Williams`s header was saved.

Gareth Bale struck his seventh goal of the campaign with five minutes left as Wales finished second in Group B following Belgium`s win against Israel.

Wales had ended their long and painful absence from major tournaments in strange circumstances on Saturday, losing 2-0 in Bosnia-Herzegovina but qualifying thanks to Israel`s 2-1 defeat by Cyprus.

The Welsh players, coaches and fans in Zenica did not care how they reached Euro 2016, so deprived of success had they been over the past half a century.

But after the initial celebrations had subsided, attention turned to Andorra`s visit and the opportunity to toast their achievement with their home crowd at a sold-out Cardiff City Stadium. -BBC
