🇽🇰 Cardiff City’s rising star Dylan Lawlor had an unforgettable international debut for Wales, leaving head coach Craig Bellamy thoroughly impressed! After a nail-biting 1-0 win against Kazakhstan in the World Cup qualifiers, Bellamy couldn’t help but rave about the 19-year-old defender: “What a player! Such maturity and confidence on the ball.”
With Wales now edging past North Macedonia in the standings, thanks to Kieffer Moore’s decisive goal, Lawlor’s standout performance has fans buzzing. The young talent showed incredible defensive composure, making vital interceptions that kept Kazakhstan at bay during their pressing moments. His notable debut follows a stellar start to the season with the Bluebirds, where he has been pivotal in their top-of-the-table League One run.
Showing no signs of slowing, the Bedwas native recently inked a new three-year contract with Cardiff City and now looks set to become a key player for the national team. Although Kazakhstan proved a tough challenge 3,000 miles from home, Wales held their ground, despite their opponents striking the crossbar twice in the second half. Bellamy acknowledged the difficulties faced but expressed confidence that this gritty performance will benefit the team in future qualifiers.
🎯 Moore celebrated his 50th cap and matched John Charles’ record with his 15th international goal. Proud of the milestone, Moore said, “To mark this occasion with a goal and a win is something I’m truly proud of.”
Looking ahead, Wales faces Canada in a friendly match before the crucial home game against Belgium on October 13. While only group winners secure automatic finals qualification, Bellamy remains focused on the next game, eager to see increased intensity from his squad.
Fans can anticipate more excitement with Dylan Lawlor in the mix. Here’s to Wales’ future star and the thrilling matches yet to come! 🎉⚽️
