Wales 0-1 Uruguay: 5 Talking Points

#4 Billy Bodin makes a fine debut for Wales

Bodin has a promising to start to

life

with the national side

The Preston North End forward earned his international call-up following considerable exploits with the Championship side this term, and the 26-year old was able to replicate some of that in the Welsh colours too.

Having replaced Sam Vokes, Bodin didn't bring the same level of threat going forward, but he linked-up well with Bale and also helped out at the back. Some promising first touches and forward passes helped Wales continue to push for an equaliser. He himself goes for a shot in what was virtually the last kick of the game when he stretched his foot out to connect to a corner, but it swung just wide off the post.

On a night when four players waited in the wings for maiden international caps, only two were handed a chance and Bodin was the one to have made a better impression.
