Wales manager Craig Bellamy came face-to-face with Bosnia star Edin Dzeko towards the end of Thursday's World Cup play-off in Cardiff. The two were going head-to-head for a spot in Tuesday's World Cup play-off final against Italy, with the game having gone to extra time and penalties.

The home side took the lead in emphatic fashion when Dan James let rip from the best part of 25 yards out, with the thunderous strike no match for Nikola Vasilj in the Bosnian goal. It felt like a matter of time before a second Wales goal arrived, with Bellamy's side continuing to knock on the door.

Unfortunately for the World Cup hopefuls, it didn't arrive. Instead, the second goal of the game was a Bosnian one, with none other than ex-Manchester City star Dzeko heading home from close range. Dzeko, now into his forties, found half a yard in the penalty area to net the leveller.

That was how the match stayed up until the 90th minute, as well as an extra 30 minutes in extra time, but it was on the sidelines where tensions boiled over. After a Bosnia player had gone down injured under a soft challenge, Bellamy and several of the Welsh coaches reacted angrily, much to the dislike of the opposition bench.
