Ryan Giggs suffered his first defeat as Welsh manager as Uruguay beat them 1-0 to win the China Cup in China. The Uruguayans were good value for their win and secured the Cup thanks to Edinson Cavani’s second half strike.

Bale, who had played 63 minutes of the first game against China where he scored a record breaking hat trick, played the full 90 here, but could not find an equaliser against Oscar Tabarez’s men.

The only previous meeting between Wales and Uruguay was back in 1986 and ended in a goalless draw.
