Wales achieved a narrow 1-0 victory over Montenegro in the Nations League on Monday, with Harry Wilson scoring the decisive penalty to extend the unbeaten start of new manager Craig Bellamy. This win places Wales second in Group B4, with eight points from four matches, just two points behind Turkey, who triumphed 4-2 against Iceland.

Wilson's standout performance came as he drew the penalty after being clipped by Montenegro's Vladimir Jovovic just inside the area. The midfielder confidently converted the spot kick in the 36th minute, sending goalkeeper Igor Nikic the wrong way for his 11th international goal. Notably, Wilson became the first Welsh player to score in three consecutive matches since Gareth Bale during Euro 2016.

Wales had already created several scoring opportunities prior to Wilson's goal, with the forward demonstrating skillful footwork to evade a defender before his initial strike was saved by Nikic. He also delivered a superb through ball to Liam Cullen, who fired just over the bar.

Montenegro, despite being at the bottom of the group without a point, put up a spirited fight and came close to equalizing early in the second half. Substitute Andrija Radulovic unleashed a powerful long-range shot that struck the crossbar, raising hopes for the visitors.

However, Wales maintained control of the match and had chances to increase their lead. Nathan Broadhead missed a golden opportunity late in the game when he got tangled up while attempting to go around the goalkeeper.

Looking ahead, Wales will face a crucial clash against Turkey on November 16, where top spot in the group will be on the line. Their previous encounter in Cardiff ended in a goalless draw, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming match.
