NIKSIC: Craig Bellamy earned his first win as Wales head coach in a frenetic Nations League contest with Montenegro played in awful conditions in rain-lashed Niksic to which the match had been switched from Pogorica.

Kieffer Moore put the visitors ahead after just 37 seconds with an instinctive finish, before Harry Wilson doubled their lead with a fabulous 25-yard strike just two minutes later.

Montenegro captain Stevan Jovetic hit the bar with an outlandish effort from his own half, while Driton Camaj was denied by Ben Davies' block on the line.

Moore missed a golden opportunity to score Wales' third in the second half as he blazed over from close range and, after Vladimir Jovovic hit the post for Montenegro, the home side finally got the goal they deserved when Camaj tapped in after 73 minutes.

Wales were far from convincing in the closing stages but, as both teams tired and the quality of the match deteriorated like the pitch, Bellamy's side were able to cling on for victory.

The result gives Wales four points from their opening two matches in Group B4, level on points with Turkey at the top.
