Just a few hundred yards from where an Armenian 19-year-old caused chaos for the senior team on Friday night, Wales’ own footballing teenagers had an opportunity to show their promise on Sunday afternoon.

In the shadow of the Cardiff City Stadium, head coach Rob Edwards’ Under-19s hosted their Swedish counterparts at the International Sports Campus in Leckwith.

While the Red Wall would have been looking for new names to raise Welsh spirits following the 4-2 defeat against Armenia in the European Championships, there was a distinctly familiar ring to the Wales Under-19 goalscorers – Matondo and Koumas.
