'We needed that win' - Narrow Azerbaijan victory doesn't worry Wales boss Giggs

His side scraped a 2-1 win over the minnows, but the coach is not particularly concerned by their struggles with the points now secured

Wales dominated much of the Euro 2020 qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium on Friday, taking the lead fortuitously in the first half when Gareth Bale's deflected effort looped into the area and was diverted past the stranded goalkeeper by the oblivious Pavlo Pashayev.
