Despite decent all round performance by Wales, Germany has proven to be the better side with a 1-0 over Wales. The World Cup qualifying match was held in Monchengladbach. Piotr Trochowski, the man from Hamburg, struck in the winner in the 72nd minute. Wales had a couple of fine chances too, including one from Craig Bellamy, and another from Chris Gunter but both of the Premier League player could not convert. Despite the loss, Wales manager Jorn Toshack was proud of his team. "Bad luck Wales, you performed admirably and have done Welsh football proud once again."
