Monday's win moved Wales level on seven points with third-placed Armenia in Group D but they are fourth on goal difference. Croatia, on 10 points from four games, lead the group on goal difference from Turkey, who have played a game more. "The pressure came from the outside, understandably, but we never questioned it within the group," Page told reporters. Their last win was also against Latvia in a Euro qualifier in Cardiff in March. Wales play Croatia, Armenia and Turkey in their final three Group D games.

"We played today with amazing character, which is the profile of our team. We played with a sense of unity, cohesion," said Queiroz, who was thrown into the air by his players after the full-time whistle. "Sometimes you lose your dignity, your honour, but of course in our first game we were bleeding in our pride. "The sending off didn't help, of course, but at that point we had five forwards on the pitch, so couldn't get a defensive shape."
