Wales falls to Denmark as Bellamy criticizes new international schedule

Summary

Wales lost to Denmark in the Nations League match on Sunday, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the decisive penalty in the second half. This defeat marks Wales' third loss in four matches during a demanding new four-match international window that head coach Craig Bellamy argues disadvantages smaller nations. Following an earlier win over Norway, Wales has struggled with several injuries. Danny Ward's mistake led to Denmark's penalty, though he made notable saves earlier in the match. Wales is now third in Group A4, with upcoming matches against Norway and Portugal scheduled next month.
