Ben Cabango, the Swansea City defender, shared his reflections following Wales' historical 2-1 win over Norway in the Nations League. Under the guidance of Craig Bellamy, the Welsh team secured a comeback victory thanks to goals from Daniel James and Neco Williams, having previously fallen behind to Oscar Bobb's opener. This victory marked Wales' first in League A and ended a seven-match winless streak.
Cabango put in a stellar performance in the heart of defence alongside captain Ben Davies, successfully neutralising the threat posed by Manchester City's star striker, Erling Haaland. After the final whistle at Cardiff City Stadium, the Welsh defender decided to take home a memento from the match.
I took his shirt after the match. He was just there, and I thought, why not? He gave me his shirt... but didn’t take mine,
the 26-year-old Cabango recounted.
This international break has been particularly special for him, having faced off against Cristiano Ronaldo in a previous clash against Portugal in Lisbon. The defender remarked that playing against players of such calibre is an invaluable experience, necessitating utmost focus throughout the game. Manager Craig Bellamy also praised the dependable partnership in defence, highlighting the importance of effective game management to contain the opponent away from their goal.
