Bellamy admits Wales pain after Denmark defeat
Wales lost 2-0 to Denmark in Copenhagen after a Ben Davies own goal and a Gustav Isaksen strike. Craig Bellamy said the defeat hurt and that Denmark deserved to win. Wales remain without a point from their away Nations League A matches.
Wales' 2-0 loss in Copenhagen came from a Ben Davies own goal and a Gustav Isaksen finish. Brian Riemer's Denmark had earlier threatened, with Mikkel Damsgaard hitting the post and an Isaksen effort ruled out for offside. Craig Bellamy's side also lost 1-0 in Lisbon to Portugal three days before, leaving them pointless from their away Nations League A fixtures.
Wales now return to Cardiff City Stadium for two home games, against Norway on Thursday, 1 October and Denmark the following Sunday. Ben Davies said conceding twice from set pieces frustrated him, while Sorba Thomas stressed the need for a response. Bellamy said the better team won and that he was hurting.
The result may affect Welsh football supporters, players, and coaching staff, shaping expectations around upcoming home fixtures. A difficult run against top-tier opponents could test public patience, but it may also strengthen appreciation for development opportunities. For younger fans, seeing Wales face elite sides could influence engagement and belief. Commercial and media interest may fluctuate with results, though two Cardiff matches offer a chance to restore momentum.
