From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Scotland will be looking to bounce back against San Marino after their humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan.

After that shock upset, San Marino will certainly fancy their chances against Alex McLeish's side - despite being the lowest-ranked country in world football and having conceded 37 goals in their last ten matches.

Scotland must now secure a win to keep their hopes of automatically qualifying for Euro 2020 alive.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

72 minutes

A defensive change from Giggs: James, today's goal scorer, is replaced by Ashley Williams.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

74 minutes

Wales are well on top now having dealt with Slovakia's brief spell of pressure earlier in the half. Bale breaks down the left and whips a superb cross into the middle. It falls to Wilson, who strikes his shot well and draws a strong save from Dubravka.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

75 minutes

Slovakia's frustration is palpable. First, Hancko is penalised for a foul throw and then Lobotka, already booked, makes a rash challenge to give away a free kick.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

76 minutes

Bale hits a free kick at goal from a long way out - even by his standards - and his effort trickles harmlessly wide of the post.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

79 minutes

The visitors, who have lost their last four away games by one goal, look likely to do the same again today. Rusnak hits an audacious shot from distance but it flies high and wide. They look bereft of ideas.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

80 minutes

The home fans are trying to boost their players over the line with a motivational rendition of the national anthem. Ten minutes for Wales to hold on and secure a vital win.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

82 minutes

Big chance! Rusnak breaks clear down the right and picks out Duris with a cross. His flicked header is saved by Hennessey but the rebound drops perfectly for Hancko. He looks certain to score. Instead, he swings at the ball and misses it completely. A let off for Wales.

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

84 minutes

Nervy moments for Wales as Slovakia go close again. A few of the travelling fans think it's in as Pekarik meets Hamsik's cross at the back post. But his effort hits the side netting.

Callum Rice-Coates24 March 2019 15:42

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

86 minutes

Roberts does well, beating Hamsik and drawing a foul. Slovakia's captain goes into the book and Wales can slow things down.

Callum Rice-Coates24 March 2019 15:43

Wales 1-0 Slovakia

87 minutes

Wales make their final change: Wilson is replaced by Will Vaulks.
