After a great performance Cyprus defeated Wales 1-0 in the friendly match held last nigh at Tsirio Stadium in Limassol. This was perhaps one of the best performances of the Cyprus national team in the last couple of years.

The Wales chief, John Toshack, claims there were few positives to take from the defeat and did not mince his words after the contest.

"That was the worst international performance I have ever witnessed," he stated.

"I was embarrassed by what I saw and I feel sorry for our fans for having to see that because they came out to Cyprus in numbers to support us.

"I will now not see these players for about four months so there is no point in not saying how I feel. I have never been one for avoiding the issue.

"What I saw out there bitterly disappointed me. I could have done better and so could many of the players.

"We were missing a lot of our first choice but that is not an excuse. It goes with the territory of being Wales boss."
