It has been for British national teams and club sides in recent years. You could see why today.“It wasn’t as clean as we would have liked, we had to dig in. The players have that ability to dig in but there is more, there is more to come from them. We are a better team than we showed consistently today. How we started was really good but then the rhythm wasn’t quite there.On Dylan Lawlor’s debut: “I was so impressed with Dylan Lawlor. He was so good. We knew it would be hard with the squad withdrawals. Dylan is a big plus from this week, we have gained a player.On the next World Cup qualifier against Belgium: “I am not thinking about Belgium yet, we have Canada to play first. I want to see a better intensity, lots of the habits that have made us the team we are. We will take the win.”Match report: All in yellow Kazakhstan, 114th in the Fifa rankings, represented a banana skin on an artificial surface in Astana but Wales took the points courtesy of a win that was anything but straightforward. Ben Fisher reports …Kieffer Moore: “Massively relieved,” says the Wales goalscorer in a BBC interview. “It’s safe to say we were on the back foot second half, but to get the three points, we needed that for the team and the campaign.“I’m extremely proud, to mark this occasion [his 50th cap] with a goal and a win is something I’m proud of. I think this sets us up for the Belgium game, we all know what we have to do, and what’s the outcome we need.”Harry Wilson: "We can win games playing ugly"“Second half they pressed a lot higher, they went man for man at times and we found it difficult,” says the Wales midfielder, who went close to doubling his side’s lead in the second half. “I think we showed that while we can win games playing well, but we can win games playing ugly as well.“After the game in Brussels, we showed we can score goals against the best of teams and we know with the Red Wall behind us we’re capable of beating anyone so we have to make sure we do that next month.”Wales face Canada in a friendly at Swansea’s Liberty Stadium on Tuesday and their remaining World Cup qualifiers are against Belgium (h), Liechtenstein (a) and North Macedonia (h). They also have a friendly against England at Wembley on Thurs 9th October.Harry Wilson: "It was a bit nervy at the end"“Valuable three points after a really, really tough game,” says the Wales midfielder in an interview with the BBC. “I thought we started pretty well and controlled the game. It was really nice to get the goal quite early on just to settle us in but they showed on more than one occasion that they’re a dangerous team. I think we really had to stick together and it was a bit nervy at the end with that free-kick. It’s a vital three points.”Full-time: Kazakhstan 0-1 WalesIt’s all over in Astana. Kazakhstan have just hit the bar and one suspects the travelling Wales fans will be doing exactly the same thing to steady their nerves with a few stiff drinks after being put through the wringer in that second half. Kieffer Moore’s first-half strike won all three points for Wales but Craig Bellamy’s side were left clinging on as Kazakhstan were left to rue one near miss after another. Wales go top of group J, two points clear of North Macedonia, who have a game in hand. Belgium, six points back, have three games in hand over Wales.
