Wales Rescues Late Draw Against North Macedonia in World Cup Qualifier

In a thrilling World Cup 2026 qualifier, Wales managed to secure a vital point with a last-gasp equalizer against North Macedonia. The match, held in Skopje, saw North Macedonia take the lead through a mistake by Joe Allen, only for David Brooks to salvage a 1-1 draw for the Welsh side in the dying moments of the game.

The draw keeps Wales in contention within their group, although the road to qualification remains challenging. Interim coach Craig Bellamy, stepping in for the absent Rob Page, expressed mixed feelings about the result, acknowledging the team's resilience but lamenting the earlier defensive lapse.

North Macedonia, on the other hand, showed they could compete with stronger teams, despite missing out on all three points. This result adds another layer of excitement to the World Cup qualifiers, with both teams looking to build on this performance in their upcoming matches.
