Watch: Pele scores last goal against Wales in a major tournament
Reuters
There are few droughts at the international level comparable to the long wait Wales has endured since its last appearance at a major tournament.
The country's Euro qualification, and first match of the tournament Saturday against Slovakia, marked the end of a dry spell that goes back to 1958 when the British country competed at the World Cup in Sweden.
The small nation also had the distinction of conceding its last goal in a proper tournament to, arguably, the greatest footballer of all time after Brazilian legend Pele scored the winner to knock Wales out of the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
Now, that record belongs to Ondrej Duda, whose goal Saturday brought Slovakia level with Wales.
