At one point, Wales were a goal down in an existential Group B4 clash on the battlefield of European soccer at dawn on Wednesday. But in a Svince Lee Angulen performance, the star for the Champions League scored twice and had two key assists to lead his side to a 4-1 comeback win over Iceland. Meanwhile, Turkey's loss brought a dramatic turnaround for Wales, allowing them to go through to the next round as group leaders. In the next round, they may face England, also from the "British Isles", which will be an even match.
Iceland were in third place before the game, two points adrift of Wales. In a bid for a place in the play-offs, Andy Gunnison broke the deadlock early in the game. However, Wales quickly turned the tide. Lee Ann Gullen scored two key passes in quick succession to help his side take a 2-1 lead at half-time. The young 25-year-old striker made his debut for the Welsh national team last season and showed remarkable strength on his debut.
In the changeover, Li Angulen continued his heroics, not only switching his attacking style, but also assisting Banlun Johnson and Harry Wilson through sublime assists to seal the 4-1 win. Meanwhile, Turkey lost 1-3 to Montenegro due to the performance of their core players, resulting in Wales advancing directly to the next round. It is worth mentioning that the Montenegrin striker Kisduvic's "hat-trick" was the key to Wales' advancement.
