Soccer
Wales ended their 64-year wait to play at a World Cup by beating Ukraine 1-0 in a pulsating play-off final in Cardiff.
Gareth Bale, so often Wales’ talisman, again produced the decisive moment with his 34th-minute free-kick headed into his own net by Andriy Yarmolenko.
But Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey took the man-of-the-match honours with an outstanding display that kept the gifted Ukrainians at bay.

Northern Ireland must hope it is 13th time lucky in the Nations League as their latest outing ended in a drab goalless draw against Cyprus.
Ian Baraclough’s side took only their third ever point in the competition but the performance and the result was a long way from what they – and the 600 travelling fans – had expected against a side ranked 105th in the world.
Ali McCann missed a sitter in the final moments but, given how many chances Cyprus had squandered, Northern Ireland had to be grateful not to have been playing better opposition.
Tennis
Rafael Nadal won the French Open for the 14th time in his career after beating Casper Ruud in the final.
He dispatched the Norwegian in straight sets to clinch a record-extending 22nd Grand Slam title.
The Spaniard has now won two more majors than any other player in the Open era.
His 6-3 6-3 6-0 victory makes him the oldest French Open winner ever in what could be his final appearance at Roland Garros.
Golf
Rory McIlroy is now five-over after nine holes during his final round of the Memorial Tournament on the US PGA Tour.
He has moved to one-over par for the tournament, in a tie for 39th.
Shane Lowry is back to level par after 13 holes today, also moving him to three-under for the week and in a tie for 18th place.
American Billy Horschel is out in front on 13-under.
18 holes to play.

The Irish woman is in a tie for 10th place on five-under ahead of a massive 18 holes.
She is eight shots off the lead of Australian Minjee Lee, who holds a three shot advantage on 13-under-par.
Racing
There was a French winner of the French Derby this afternoon as Vadeni took the group 1 victory.
The Jean Claude Rouget trained winner came home at a price of eight to one.
James Ferguson's El Bodegon was second, while the favourite Modern Games could only finish third.
