Wales Were ‘Brave’ In Salvaging Draw With Swiss- Bale
Wales captain Gareth Bale said his side were “brave” in the 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their opening game of Euro 2020 in Baku on Saturday.
“We’re not too disappointed with the draw, it could have been worse,” Bale told S4C.
“They’re a top 10 team in the world, they’re there for a reason so we knew in parts we would have to suffer and work hard as a team.
“The best thing for us was to go 1-0 down. We showed a lot of character, like we always do, to fight back, be brave, get on the ball and get the equaliser.”
Switzerland striker Mario Gavranovic had a potential winner chalked off by VAR for offside after he had edged ahead of Wales back four.
“Over the past year I’ve hated VAR but by now, I love it now, fair play,” Wales midfielder Joe Allen said.
“VAR for life.”
