We asked Dafydd Iwan how he felt about Wales' glorious Yma O Hyd renditions at World Cup play-off win

Welsh-language singer Dafydd Iwan has had his say on his remarkable performances during Wales' World Cup play-off final win over Ukraine. Rob Page's men secured a historic World Cup spot for the first time since 1958 thanks to a 1-0 win.

They faced Ukraine at a sold-out Cardiff City Stadium and booked their place at this year's global showpiece in Qatar. The electric atmosphere was impossible to dampen, even though traditional Welsh weather did its best.

Fans were treated to not one but two stirring renditions of Yma O Hyd, one before the match and another after qualification had been sealed, with 78-year-old Dafydd joined by Wales' stars on the pitch as they celebrated together.
