Cymru will now face Poland on Tuesday night in Cardiff
are one game away from Euro 2024 after thrashing Finland 4-1 in a qualifying play-off match in the capital.
Minutes later, Daniel Hakans couldn't keep an awkward volley from close range down and it flashed over Danny Ward's net. But it was a warning to anyone in a red shirt who was considering getting carried away. Wales received another warning in the 26th minute but once again Hakans fluffed his lines inside the box. Up the other end, Johnson had gone through on goal but mistimed his run and a long-range effort from Wilson kept Hradecky's hands warm.Chris Mepham's simple pass to centre-back partner Joe Rodon woefully missed its intended target but a recovering Ben Davies did enough to prevent Pukki equalising. Seconds later, Johnson was fouled on the edge of the Finland box. Cue pandemonium.
Just after the hour mark, Wilson burst through and had a chance to pop the cork on the celebrations but his curling effort didn't curl enough.
