For Wales, this Nations League opener was always going to be tantamount to a character-building exercise to warm up for their biggest game in 64 years and an impressive showing despite defeat in Poland provided a welcome takeaway days before their World Cup playoff final.

Rob Page unapologetically admitted that he named an experimental team with one eye on Sunday’s showdown in Cardiff, a game that has crept up in the rear-view mirror. Wales led through Jonny Williams’s second goal for his country, a strike from 20 yards, but the Poland substitutes Jakub Kaminski and Karol Swiderski reversed the scoring to secure the hosts victory in Wroclaw.
