History was made in Wales’ 4-0 friendly victory over Gibraltar as it was the first time that two current Wycombe Wanderers players faced each other for their respective nations.
For the Dragons, Joe Low started and played the full 90 minutes in what was his first-team debut for the country, whilst for Los Llanis, striker Tjay De Barr played 71 minutes before being substituted.
It was his 35th cap.
