Gareth Bale took one of the worst penalties of the season in Wales' crucial European Championship victory against Turkey.
The 31-year-old forward played a pivotal role in their crucial 2-0 win on Wednesday night, assisting Aaron Ramsey's 42nd-minute winner with an inch-perfect, beautiful cross-field ball.
He was hugely influential throughout and was a constant danger in attacking positions for Rob Page's side.
This is the amazing goal from Aaron Ramsey that separates the sides.
Can Wales hold on, or will they pay for that penalty miss from Gareth Bale?

In fact, he won a penalty on the hour mark after being chopped down in the area but moments later, in a moment he will quickly want to forget, the Real Madrid man skied his penalty in dramatic fashion.
Wow. Gareth Bale :scream:

As you can imagine, social media were quick to react to Bale's penalty miss.
Landed safely @GarethBale11. Still think you can reach the green from here. pic.twitter.com/DgXCTqB64n

That Gareth Bale penalty was one of the worst I've ever seen. Amazing what playing for Spurs does to a man. #WALTUR

Wales somehow managed to hang on to their lead after some dramatic end-to-end scenes in the final stages, and now sit top of Group A with four points after picking up a point against Switzerland on Saturday.
It's safe to say the Dragons have goalkeeper Danny Ward to thank for his last gasp heroics.
Danny Ward has made some terrific saves today, but that was best of the lot. Amazing reach.#WAL
