September 26, 2022 Wales Relegated From Nations League With Defeat By Poland

Wales Relegated From Nations League With Defeat By Poland

Wales were relegated from the top tier of the Nations League after they were beaten at home by Poland.

The visitors, needing only a draw to secure their survival at Wales' expense, had the better of a goalless but full-blooded first half in which tempers flared more often than either side was able to create chances to score.

Poland deservedly led after an hour as Captain Robert Lewandowski's beautiful touch set up Karol Swiderski to finish between Wayne Hennessey's legs and spark wild celebrations among the raucous travelling fans.

Wales had chances to equalise, with Brennan Johnson's low shot superbly saved by Wojciech Szczesny before Gareth Bale headed against the crossbar in added time.

But Lewandowski's moment of inspiration was a worthy decisive contribution in an encounter otherwise relatively low on quality.

Wales finish bottom of Group A4 with just one point from six games in their first campaign at the highest level of the Nations League, although they are in good company with the likes of England also dropping down to the second division.

And as much as Robert Page's side would have liked to have maintained their place in the top flight, their most significant challenge is yet to come.

Wales' next game will be their first match at a World Cup for 64 years as they begin their campaign in Qatar against the United States on 21 November.

Manchester United Star Cristiano Ronaldo Charged By FA Over Smashing Phone Out Of Supporter’s Hand

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been charged by the Football Association over footage that appeared to show him knocking a phone out of a fan's hand.

A video was shared on social media alongside comments claiming he smashed the device as he left the pitch after a 1-0 loss at Everton in April.

He was cautioned by police regarding the incident in August.

"It is alleged that the forward's conduct after the final whistle was improper and/or violent," the FA said in a statement.

Manchester United said they would support Ronaldo in his response to the charge.

The defeat at Everton dealt a blow to United's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. They went on to finish sixth.
