Kieffer Moore had Gareth Bale on his feet applauding his first half header as Wales continued their promising start to Euro 2024 qualifying without their retired talisman.
Record scorer and appearance holder Bale was in the stands at the Cardiff City Stadium where he addressed fans before kick off after hanging up his boots. He must have been encouraged with Wales' efforts without him as they forced Latvia keeper Pavels Steinbors into a string of saves.
Bournemouth frontman Moore opened the scoring four minutes before the break with a brilliant downward header after good wing play from Dan James who put over a teasing cross. Neco Williams also hit the bar in the second half after Steinbors got a hand to it.
