Watch Wales’ opening Euro 2012 Qualifying fixture away at Montenegro on 03.09.2010

Wales and Montenegro started the match lively with both teams having chances on goal. Both teams created several chances to score with the first real chance coming in the 25th minute when Montenegro created a gap in the Wales defence, but the shot was a poor one.

The opening goal was scored in the 30th minute as Montenegro opened the scoring through Vucinic. It was a simple goal as Vucinic got passed James Collins easily and the player cutting inside the box to fire past Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey to take the lead.

Wales responded quite well to the goal and striker Steve Morison felt he should have been given a penalty after being man-handled in the box but the referee waved away his claims. Wales very nearly scored in the 38th minute when Gareth Bale’s charging run down the left saw his cross the ball low into the box for Craig Bellamy but a Montenegro defender managed to get his heel to the ball diverting the path slightly before Bellamy blasted wide.

Wales very nearly equalised after the hour mark as Steve Morison headed down from a corner which saw Ashley Williams running onto the ball and grabbing a touch, but unfortunately for the defender the goalkeeper managed to tip the ball over before it could drop under the crossbar.

With the game going into the last 10 minutes Wales had two great opportunities to score. Bellamy running in from wide receiving the ball and shooting forcing the keeper into forcing a corner, and from the corner Bellamy found himself free but a poor header from him as it went straight to the keeper.

Minutes later Wales hit the crossbar. Sam Ricketts wining the ball out wide and crossing the ball for Simon Church who saw his header hit the crossbar. Montenegro then forced a save from Wayne Hennessey as he saves low down to his right from a shot from 25 yards out.

Montenegro very nearly scored again as a player finds himself with a free header but could only header it wide. A minute later Wales scored, but it was dissallowed as goalscorer Simon Church was offside when Robert Earnshaw shot at goal.
