Craig Bellamy admits he is hurting after Wales were beaten 2-0 by Denmark in Copenhagen.

What happened. Wales lost 2-0 away to Denmark in the Nations League A, with a Ben Davies own goal and a Gustav Isaksen strike sealing the win for the hosts. The result leaves Wales winless in six matches in 2026 and without a point from their away double-header against Portugal and Denmark.

• Denmark dominated early, with Mikkel Damsgaard hitting the post and Isaksen having a goal disallowed.
• Wales improved after the first half hour but conceded from two set-pieces.
• Bellamy remains confident his side will improve by playing against Europe's elite.

“I'm really hurting. When you see an athletic team run over you a little bit... but then, will we improve? I think we will.”

— Craig Bellamy

Wales have two more Nations League games to try to turn their campaign around and end their winless run.
