Bale’s Wales are virtually in the round of 16 at the European Championship. The British team beat Turkey thanks to a great game by Bale, who assisted in goals from Ramsey and Roberts. The Real Madrid player’s excellent duel was only marred by a spectacularly missed penalty in the second half. The British will play the first group place with Italy. Turkey is on the brink of elimination after scoring zero points in two rounds.
Bale was doomed to excellence after failing to appear at the Welsh Eurocup premiere. The British team stumbled against Switzerland in the debut and had to get the three points against Turkey to continue dreaming of the round of 16 in a tournament in which they touched the sky with a historic semi-finals in 2016. And to be in the final phase again The tournament needed a Gareth Bale who continues to play the second leg with his life after several years of hangover after seasons full of drinks.
Turkey and Wales were gambling to continue in the Eurocup in Baku and this could be seen in the minutes of the duel. The Turkish team launched their first offensive, which could be translated into a goal by Burak Yilmaz but little by little Wales took over the game and had the best chances. A ball hitting the crossbar of the Turkish goal, a hand missed by VAR and a clear chance from Ramsey were Wales’ best chances in less than half an hour. Turkey responded to this by approaching the goal in a corner in which the Welsh defense had to get the ball out from under the posts. The party had its cache. And the third time was the charm for Ramsey . Gareth Bale raised his head and put in a perfect ball that left the Juventus player heads-up against Cakir . And this time it did not fail. A goal that put the game on track for a Welsh team that was closer to the knockout stages of the European Championship.
Penalty sky high and second assist
After passing through the changing rooms Turkey was forced to go on the attack to avoid its second defeat in the European Championship and its near elimination from the tournament. So Wales entrusted everything to a counter savior … or a great intervention by Gareth Bale . The Real Madrid player caused a penalty and had the opportunity to sentence the game from eleven meters but failed in a resounding way. There were more drama seconds later when he was about to make the rebound tie but the ball went inches off the post. Drama for Bale , but that did not reach more because he was before his big day in the tournament. With time up, the madridista again made a brilliant move to assist Roberts in the second goal for Wales. The British team is now virtually in the knockout stages of the European Championship … thanks to a great Bale.
