Joe Ledley
Poland 1 - 0 Wales

The Poles secured their place in the Wolrd Cup finals next year with a 1 - 0 win over Wales. The only goal was a second half penalty.

Poland now have a five point lead on second placed England who LOST in Northern Ireland. How costly now was Whitley and Mulryne's night out?

For the Ledley family it was a very proud night. Despite losing the game 18 year old Joe Ledley won his first senior cap. He was the second City player on the pitch in Warsaw with Jason Koumas starting the game and coming off on 81 mins for Ledley to come on.

Well done to Joe and bad luck to Wales who have now gone 14 competitive games without a win.
