How they rated
WAYNE HENNESSEY
Became Wales’ all-time record appearance maker for a goalkeeper and marked the occasion with a typically assured performance. Did what he needed to when called upon.
CONNOR ROBERTS
Was up and down that right flank like a yo-yo. Gave the ball away cheaply once or twice but on the whole a competent display.
JOE RODON
Calm, composed and silky in possession. A couple of poor passes caused a hairy moment or two, but another neat performance from the Tottenham target.
BEN DAVIES
Another solid outing from a seasoned campaigner in a Wales shirt. Reliable in possession and kept a lid on the dangerous Robbie Brady for the most part.
JOE MORRELL
Stepped into the Welsh midfield comfortably and provided ample cover from a deep-lying position. Ticked the play over nicely but lacked influence going forward.
MATTY SMITH
Rushed and harried the Irish midfield. Will have wanted to produce a little more when Wales launched their counterattacks, though. Needed to do a bit more.
DANIEL JAMES
A very quiet outing, all told, for the Manchester United man. Had little opportunity to influence the game in areas Wales needed him to.
AARON RAMSEY
The odd touch of brilliance and Hollywood pass, but Wales needed to get him involved in attacks far more than they did. Looked dangerous the longer the game went on.
HARRY WILSON
A sloppy pass almost played in Robbie Brady in the first half, but he also had a decent, bending effort denied by Darren Randolph. Gave the ball away a tad too often when trying to inject pace.
KIEFFER MOORE
Booked for an elbow to Kevin Long’s face early on. Was perhaps unjustly penalised on a number of occasions by the referee but fed off scraps and was incredibly quiet all afternoon.
