Match Of The Day : Portugal Vs Wales - Facts And Stats (wales) by Nobody: 12:49pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
Euro facts: Wales This is Wales's first major semi-final. In fact, it is their first semi-final in any Uefa or Fifa tournament at any level for men or women. They have surpassed their previous best of a quarter-final place, secured at the 1958 World Cup – their only past championship experience – where they were eliminated 1-0 by eventual winners Brazil. Wales's previous best Euro performance came in 1976, when they went out to Yugoslavia 3-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. They fell 2-0 in the first leg in Zagreb before a 1-1 draw in Cardiff. Until now the only Welsh team to feature in any Uefa semi-final were Cardiff City in the 1967/68 European Cup Winners' Cup, in which they lost 4-3 on aggregate to Hamburg. Gareth Bale notched seven of Wales's 11 goals in Euro 2016 qualifying, providing two assists, meaning he scored or set up 82 per cent of their goals. With three strikes and one assist at these finals, he has been a little less efficient – having had a hand in just 40 per cent of the Dragons' 10 goals in France. This is the first time a Welsh side – club or national – will play a competitive match in Lyon.
