On-loan Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo netted his first goal for Wales last night.
The 24-year-old was called up to play for his country as they kicked off their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign this month.
Wales welcomed Kazakhstan to Cardiff yesterday evening in their Group J opener.
While Matondo didn't start, he was introduced as a second-half substitute and rounded off the scoring late on.

Matondo is currently on loan at Hannover 96 from Rangers.
He joined the German second-tier outfit at the tail-end of the January transfer window on a temporary deal until the end of the current campaign.
The Welshman has made six appearances for the club since, scoring once along the way.
Matondo joined Rangers in the summer of 2022 under Giovanni van Bronckhorst's watch.
He is contracted at Ibrox until the summer of 2026, although Hannover have the option to make his loan move permanent this summer.
