Albania 1 Wales 0: Gunter's night spoiled by Balaj

Wales ended 2018 with back-to-back defeats as Albania earned a 1-0 victory in Chris Gunter's landmark appearance.

Chris Gunter became Wales' most-capped player in Elbasan on Tuesday but Ryan Giggs' side could not mark the occasion with victory as they were beaten 1-0 by Albania.

Gunter made his international bow in 2007 and the goalless friendly saw him go past Neville Southall with 93 caps, a tally the 29-year-old could significantly add to before the end of his career.

A celebratory night in Cardiff might have a better way for the full-back to separate given there was very little to cheer for those fans who had made the journey.
