It was a winner-take-all contest for second place in Group J, but there was clear daylight between the two sides on the night as Wales romped their way to a scintillating win.

Harry Wilson, captain for the night, set his side on their way with a first-half penalty, before David Brooks added a second.

Bojan Miovski pulled a goal back before Brennan Johnson's stunner.

Dan James then added a fourth after halftime, before Wilson doubled his tally for the night.
