Bale makes early exit for Wales against England at World Cup

arabnews.com

AL RAYYAN, Qatar: If it was Gareth Bale’s final game for Wales, it ended rather unceremoniously. The Wales captain was substituted at halftime of the team’s match against England at the World Cup on Tuesday because of an injury.

While it was unclear when Bale was hurt, it appeared he was struggling late in the first half of the team’s final Group B match.

He was replaced by Brennan Johnson. Wales crumbled once Bale went off. England scored about five minutes into the second half and added another goal a minute later, finishing with a 3-0 victory.

Wales went into the match at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium needing a victory for a chance to advance to the knockout round in the team’s first World Cup appearance since 1958.
