Gareth Bale needs to start getting used to offer amazing performances this season in the city of Cardiff, that's where this season's Champions League final will be played and with fortune he will be there to try and get a new title. But as a warm-up, the Welsh national team played their first World Cup qualifying match against Moldova and the Real Madrid winger gave another one of his amazing performances.
Although it wasn't the Principality Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium was still packed to watch Gareth Bale perform this Monday. He started the match with a clinical assist to Vokes in the 38th minute of the match. Six minutes after that, Joe Allen scored his first goal with Wales before half-time. But Gareth Bale's performance still lacked a goal or two from his left foot.
Five minutes into the second half, the Moldova defense made a terrible mistake and gave Gareth Bale the ball in a very dangerous place. The Real Madrid player ceased the opportunity and chipped the ball over the goalkeeper's head, but this wasn't going to be Bale's last chance to score again. Near the end, he got knocked down inside the box and got awarded a penalty. He took the shot from the spot and scored his brace in Wales' 4-0 victory against Moldova. A perfect start for this new journey in which Gareth Bale is the absolute leader.
