Wales had 57% of possession in Bucharest and managed nine shots on target.<\/p>\n

Defeat means Wales are without a win in four matches in 2026, with their stunning 7-1 triumph over North Macedonia in November the last time Bellamy’s men tasted success.<\/p>\n
His side return to action in Nations League A – where they face Portugal, Denmark and Norway – later this year.<\/p>\n
Wales goalscorer Brooks says the team need to be “miles better” in that campaign.<\/p>\n
“We were not good enough, not at all,” Brooks told BBC Match of the Day Wales.<\/p>\n
“We need to watch it back and try and take some positives out of it.<\/p>\n
“We kept the ball quite nicely, but we lacked penetrating passes.<\/p>\n
“We played in the wrong areas. We need to be miles better in the Nations League and in the next camp.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wales had 57% of possession in Bucharest and managed nine shots on target.
