Euro 2016: Gareth Bale inspires Wales into quarter-finals

Wales edged Northern Ireland by 1-0 to qualify for the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

It was a titanic battle between the two British nations but an own goal by Gareth McAuley in 75th minute gave The Dragons a historic victory over their neighbours.

Wales being the favourite found it difficult to breakdown the Northern Irish team and Gareth Bale’s trademark free-kick was saved by Michael McGovernk in the 58th minute of the match.

However the Green and White Army dominance was broken down by a Gareth Bale’s quality cross meant for Robson-Kanu but was turned in by McAuley into his own net.

The Dragons will now meet the winner of Hungary and Belgium in the quarter-final stage of the competition.
