While Abraham saw the last 12 minutes of the tie play out from the bench, his strike partner was on for the entire duration. Meanwhile, Frank de Boer did not call on Black Stars' Jeffrey Schulpp from the bench.

The pair goals ensured the Welsh outfit secured their first league win of the season. And they will look to continue the feat when they host Christain Atsu's Newcastle in their next topflight encounter on September 10.
