Gibraltar had the last laugh after holding Wales to a 0-0 draw on Thursday, bringing an end to their 13-game losing streak. Despite Wales’ 17 shots and 69% possession, the hosts held firm and even managed a shot of their own in a resilient display. In the lead-up to the game, BBC Sport Wales highlighted Gibraltar’s poor run of form, which included 13 straight losses with an aggregate score of 0-50. However, the Gibraltar Football Association had the perfect response after the game, trolling Wales with a meme from The Office that simply read, ‘Bit awkward’. The result was a humiliating one for Wales, with fans booing manager Rob Page and calling for his dismissal. Page, however, remained defiant, stating that he understood the fans’ frustration but refused to lose focus on the bigger picture. The draw is another setback for Wales, who failed to qualify for Euro 2024, and leaves them with plenty of questions to answer.
