“Sluggish”: Wales media assess Wrexham man’s display vs Portugal

Wrexham goalkeeper Danny Ward played the full 90 minutes for Wales in their 1-0 defeat against Portugal in Lisbon. The UEFA Nations League Group D match was decided by a first-half strike from Joao Felix that deflected in off defender Ben Davies. Craig Bellamy's side could not find an equalizer in the second half.

WalesOnline reporter Glen Williams rated Ward's performance at 5/10, describing the 33-year-old goalkeeper as sluggish when attempting to stop Portugal's winning goal. Ward, who is under contract at Wrexham until the summer of 2027, primarily serves as backup to Anthony Patterson under manager Phil Parkinson.
