North Macedonia v Wales LIVE: Goal updates as Sorba Thomas misses sitter in World Cup qualifier

65 mins: SAVE! Churlinov comes flying in on the volley but Karl Darlow is equal two it, producing a reflex save to divert the powerful effort away.

Best chance of the second half, that. This feels like one could win it.

64 mins: Bellamy has opted to bring off Dan James as Kiefer Moore enters the fray.

59 mins: The referee stops the game on the 59th minute as Skopje pays tribute to those who tragically lost their lives in a nightclub fire on Saturday.

Unity on and off the pitch as all in the stadium pay their respects.

58 mins: This is turning into an end-to-end contest.

North Macedonia press the Wales box – but after being dispossessed, the visitors break quickly through Johnson. He pulls it back to Broadhead on the edge of the box but he can’t control his effort as it flies over.

Then down the other Elmas tries bending it towards the far corner, well blocked as Darlow went dove across.

56 mins: CLOSE! Daniel James has been at the heart of Wales’s attacking efforts so far, and he just came inches from finding an inadvertent opener.

He dances into the box and tries to fire it towards the back post for a tap in – but as the defender misses the clearance, it very nearly creeps in.

52 mins: Just like the first half, Wales have started this second period well.

They’re moving it about nicely and frustrating the home crowd, with their side unable to get any of the ball.

Joe James just had a pop from range, simple save as it trickled towards goal.

47 mins: Clever move as Jordan James ticks it about with Brennan Johnson before directing a ball across the top of the box looking for a Wales shirt.

No takers, unfortunately for Craig Bellamy’s side. But a positive start.

46 mins: We’re off again in Skopje.

The first half with the North Macedonia manager blowing up in the referee’s face and earning a yellow card for his troubles. We go into the break goalless.

The only real chance came Wales’s way as Sorba Thomas failed to finish from close range after latching onto Jordan James’s low cross.

Not the most exhilarating game so far, we’ll give you that.

45+2 mins: First yellow card of the night as Serafimov is cautioned for dragging Johnson down on the counter.

Wales move it nicely from the free-kick and will have a corner to see out the half.
