Turkey 0-0 Wales: Akturkoglu's late penalty miss preserves Bellamy's unbeaten record

Describing Wales under Craig Bellamy hasn't always been the most easy of tasks.

Frantic, chaotic, and intense, this brand of football blurs a lot of the lines many will have previously been used to. But there are two certainties already about this new era.

Bellamy has made Wales compelling to watch and, crucially, really, really difficult to beat.

After battling to a goalless draw with Nations League in Turkey on Saturday evening, Wales are still yet to taste defeat under his stewardship. Had this contest lasted another 90 minutes, one would have still fancied Wales to hold a frustrated Turkish side at arm's length.

Despite a positive start, Wales were admittedly on the back foot for much of the first half, with Karl Darlow producing a fine one-on-one save to deny Yunus Akgun, although Harry Wilson did crack a low effort off the post on the stroke of half-time.

Turkey continued to push after the break, but the quantity of chances largely outweighed the quality.

That all changed when they were handed a golden chance to take the win late on. Neco Williams harshly penalised for a foul on Yunus Akgun inside the box.

However, Kerem Akturkoglu would send the resulting spot kick wide, preserving what the visitors will feel was a well deserved point against a Turkey side that had previously won six of their last seven games at home.

The result leaves Wales two points behind the Turks heading into their final game with Iceland at the Cardiff City Stadium, meaning automatic promotion to League A is still an achievable aim for this team.

Having already become the first Wales manager to go unbeaten in his first four games, this was always likely to be the sternest examination of Welsh football's new era.
