Sunday cover: Gareth Bale and Wales own it up against Northern Ireland



The National's Sport cover for the Sunday, June 26 issue, featuring Gareth Bale as Wales edged by Northern Ireland on an own goal in the Euro 2016 round of 16.

The match was a cagey one between the British rivals, and Gareth Bale said, "We knew it was going to be an ugly match."

It was goalless well into the second half before Bale’s cross connected with Gareth McAuley, of Northern Ireland, for an own goal that pushed Wales on.

“It was an ugly game, but who cares?” Wales coach Chris Coleman said. “When luck comes your way, you take it.”
