    Time:90'
    • Wales
    • Estonia
    • 90'+3 And that's that. The youngest-ever Welsh team have beaten Estonia 1-0 and will travel to Azerbaijan with renewed confidence. But they'll have to be sharper in Baku!
    • 90'+3 Time's almost up. It looks like a first win for Wales since they beat Denmark in November.
    • 90'+2 A nudge on Edwards. It's a free kick for Wales..played quickly to Church but Estonia regain possession and it's a foul on Puri.
    • 90' Three minutes of stoppage time indicated by the fourth official, but it looks like there'll be no further goals at Llanelli tonight.
    • 88' Ched Evans is down needing treatment,and Andy King eventually comes on for his first cap, replacing the unlucky Manchester City man.
    • 86' Gunter wins a foul midway in the Estonian half and it's a yellow card for Konstantin Vassiljev.
    • 84' Long hoof by Hennessey. It eventually falls to Bale who tries to find a way through the blue shirts without success.
    • 83' Good move by the Welsh, Edwards and Allen link up well, but Bale's cross is in no-man's land.
    • 82' Eight minutes to go. There's been little action in this second period, other than a flurry of substitutions. Like Myhill in the first half, Hennessey has been a spectator for most of this match.
    • 80' And it's a first cap for Swansea City's Joe Allen! Jack Collison makes way.
    • 79' Another Estonian switch. Eino Puri - twin brother of Sander - replaces Dimitri Kruglov.
    • 78' Konsa almost gets away from his marker but he's on his own and is finally thwarted by two Welsh defenders.
    • 77' The Welsh are beginning to find their rhythm again. Gunter wins a corner...Bale takes it short..It's bouncing around in the Estonian box and finally cleared.
    • 76' Bale with another snapshot! Again, well held by Kotenko!
    • 74' It's a corner for Estonia. What can the subs conjour up? Not a lot, apparently. It's a Welsh free kick.
    • 73' And ANOTHER sub! The Estonian Kristian Marmoe is on for Alo Dupikov. No wonder the game's gone a bit flat!
    • 68' Oooh! Ledley with a delicate chip that almost catches Kotenko out!
    • 67' And another sub. This time for Wales and perhaps a bit surprising as David Edwards comes on for Aaron Ramsey.
    • 65' Two subs for Estonia. Oliver Konsa is in for Vitali Gussev and Gert Kams replaces the fiesty Sander Puri.
    • 64' Free kick to Estonia..it comes to nothing..straight up at the other end and Kotenko just beats Church to the loose ball. The Reading man is certainly in the thick of it!
    • 60' And poor old Simon Church is in the book already! What a start to the Reading man's international career!
    • 59' Toshack switches strikers. Ched Evans is on for Earnshaw and Simon Church wins his first cap as he replaces Sam Vokes.
    • 57' Sander Puri brings down Ledley and this time the ref pulls put the yellow card.
    • 56' Good move between Ledley and Ramsey. The ball's deep in the Estonian half..but it's out for an Estonian throw.
    • 52' Estonia have the ball for once. There's another of those crosses from the Welsh right...same result though. This one's cleared - although this time with slightly less conviction by the Welsh backline.
    • 51' Wales with all the posession in the first five minutes. They just need to find that final ball.
    • 49' Ramsey..great composure from one so young as he sprays the ball around. He's looking confident tonight!
    • 47' Early sight of goal for the Estonians. Martin Vunk's shot is blocked.
    • 46' One change for the Welsh. Wayne Hennessey takes over from Myhill in goal.
    • 46 And the second half gets underway!
    • 45' Konstanin Vassiljev with a rare goal attempt for Estonia... Myhill watches it fly over. Good judgement by the Hull City keeper. And the ref brings the half to a close. Wales lead 1-0.
    • 43' Earnshaw!! Stays onside, he's got a great sight of goal...Oooh! he's dragged the shot wide! Great chance there for the Forest man!
    • 42' There's 40 places between these teams in the Fifa rankings and it's showing at the moment.
    • 40' Five minutes of the half remaining. Wales will want to add another before the break.
    • 39' Nyatanga to Bale and the Spurs man is clattered by Tihhon Sisov. Friendly or not, that was a booking! But not according to the ref!
    • 37' Estonia look to have one plan - get down the flanks and bang in crosses for their big men. This one is cleared comfortably by the Welsh defence.
    • 34' Taijo Teniste gets pulled up for a foul. He's a lucky man not to go in the book for dissent.
    • 32' Straight up the other end..Ledley cracks in a shot which Kotenko does well to hold!
    • 30' It's a throw for Estonia, Sander Puri makes a determined challenge..it's out for a corner...which comes to nothing.
    • 28' Estonia will feel hard done by, but the Welshmen are well worth their lead and will hope to add to the tally. A rare touch for Myhill who clears a back pass.
    • 26' GOAL WALES!! The penalty looked harsh, but Earnshaw steps up and cockily sends the keeper the wrong way! 1-0 Wales!
    • 24' This one comes to nothing bit Wales are on the attack again. Ledley fires in a shot...it hit an Estonian and the ref has given a penalty!!
    • 23' A corner to Wales. Taken by Bale, Sam Vokes has the ball taken away and Joe Ledley's follow-up shot is deflected for another corner.
    • 20' Estonia with a great chance out of the blue! A rare foray down the Welsh right sees the unmarked Alo Dupikov head well wide. A warning for the Welshmen!
    • 19' Good passing by Wales. They're looking comfortable on the ball. They just need a bit more penetration. Estonia will be happy to keep them at arm's length.
    • 17' It's all Wales at the moment. Boaz Myhill is a spectator in the Welsh goal.
    • 15' Gareth Bale flies flew through the Estonian left...dangerous cross across the face of the Estonian goal, but there's no white shirt there to poke the ball home!
    • 13' Wolves' Sam Vokes is bundled off the ball. It's a free kick wide on the Estonian left...swung in and it's a good punch away by Kotenko.
    • 11' Derby's Lewis Nyatanga tries to find Earnshaw but it's cut out. The Nottingham Forest striker wins his 44th cap this evening.
    • 10' The Welsh youngsters are beginning to find their feet now. The average age of Toshack's side tonight is 21!
    • 8' Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey blazes through the Estonian defence, finds Chris Gunter, but the Spurs man blazes over. Great run by Ramsey!
    • 5' It's all very cagey in the Welsh evening sunlight. Robbie Earnshaw feels he was obstructed as he attempts to meet a deep Welsh cross. Nothing doing says the Icelandic ref.
    • 3' Gareth Bale is brought down. It's an early free kick for Wales, but comes to nothing.
    • 2' An early touch for Estonian keeper Artur Kotenko. It's a weakened Estonian side today.
    • 1' And we're away in Llanelli!
    • - John Toshack is looking to the future after World Cup defeats to Germany and Finland and will see this match as valuable experience for the Welsh youngsters.
    • - Hello and welcome to Llanelli's Parc y Scarlets for tonight's friendly international between Wales and Estonia.

  • Summary

    • 76' Bale with another snapshot! Again, well held by Kotenko!
