Read our privacy policy Gareth Bale was only too happy to step up when Wales needed him after his penalty secured a 1-1 draw with the United States in their World Cup opener. “I was a bit tired towards the end but we have to dig deep for our country, we always do.” Boss Page admitted only one player was going to take the spot-kick. “To see all the supporters enjoying it was incredible.” Page’s introduction of Kieffer Moore at half-time changed the match, the striker giving Wales the attacking focal point they had been badly lacking.
