- 90'+4'Republic of Ireland and Bulgaria drew 1-1 in the other Group B4 match, so Wales go top of the standings early on. Next up for Giggs' men is a home meeting with Bulgaria on Sunday, the same day Finland take on Ireland in Dublin.
- 90'+4'Wales kick off their Nations League campaign with a 1-0 win over Finland in Helsinki. Moore had an early goal correctly ruled out but made the difference 10 minutes from time, converting from close range after being teed up by James. The hosts' only chance fell to Vaisanen, who somehow hit the post from four yards out.
