MARK Harris made his first start for Wales as Craig Bellamy’s side beat Montenegro in the UEFA Nations League.

The Oxford United striker picked up his seventh cap for his country, and played up front in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Harris came close to grabbing a goal on two occasions in the opening stages, but both times narrowly missed out on connecting with crosses.

The first saw Harris inches away from an aerial ball into the box, and then he was just behind a cross slid across the penalty box.

As U’s fans have become accustomed to, Harris worked hard up front, leading the Wales press and closing down defenders, and played 89 minutes before being replaced by Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore.
