Wales are into the last 16 of Euro 2020 despite a 1-0 defeat to Italy, with Tottenham Hotspur’s Joe Rodon playing a key role.
Robert Page’s side lost to a first-half Matteo Pessina goal, but they went through second from Group A as Switzerland could only beat Turkey 3-1.
The result means Wales can look forward to a knockout clash against Belgium, Russia, Finland or Denmark, having taken four points from their three games.
