Wales relegated from the UEFA Nations League after a 1 goal wonder from Poland

Wales were officially relegated from the UEFA Nations League by Poland in Cardiff with Swiderski's goal bringing about the difference between the two teams at the final whistle.

Gareth Bale was started upfront together with Daniel James but ended up being a blunt pair in attack after failing to score in both halves.

James was twice denied in quick succession in their best chance of the opening 45 minutes before Brennan Johnson saw the Fulham loanee inadvertently deflect his goalbound effort wide.

Wales' win-or-bust condition was echoed by the attack-minded side named by Page, with Bale flanked by the pace of Johnson and James to attempt to catch Poland out on the break.

The closest that Wales came to scoring is when Bale's effort hit the woodwork towards the last minutes as they tried to score an equaliser.

Poland were in no hurry to double the lead as they sat back and defended their narrow lead hence frustrating the Welsh players. 

Rob Page who is the Wales coach gave his verdict after the match encouraging his boys as he stated that "it is not the end of the world" after they were relegated from the Nations League's top tier. 

"We're disappointed that we lost the game and we got relegated, but it's not the end of the world and we're now fully focused on the World Cup," Page said.

Wales will be taking part in this year's World Cup tournament after waiting for 64 years. Page's side will face the USA in their opening game at Qatar 2022 on November 21 at the Al Rayyan Stadium.
