At dawn on Wednesday, Wales were trailing by a single goal in a thrilling EU Group B4 match. However, Svince Lienguilen, who plays for the Champions League, was a godsend, scoring twice and dishing out two assists to help his side turn the tables on Iceland, 4-1, at home. Meanwhile, Turkey's loss allowed Wales to dramatically top the group and advance straight into the tournament. In the next edition of the tournament, they may meet England, also from the "British Isles", in what will be a battle of the giants.
Iceland, who were third in the pre-tournament standings, were two points adrift of second-placed Wales. In order to fight for the chance of promotion, Andi Gudjonsson broke the deadlock in the first seven minutes of the game. But Wales did not let up as Lee Angoulên scored back-to-back goals to give his team a 2-1 lead at the end of the first half. The 25-year-old striker proved his mettle in his first international match after making his debut for the Welsh national team last year.
At the changeover, Li Angulen continued to play a key role but he switched his role to help Banlun Johnson and Harry Wilson score through clever assists to seal a 4-1 win. With Turkey's top players in the mix after a 1-3 loss to Montenegro, Wales cruised to the top of the group and progressed straight to the next round. It is worth mentioning that Montenegrin striker Kisduvic scored a "hat-trick" in the match and became a "big benefactor" for Wales.
