GOAL DISALLOWED! Bale heads a bouncing ball onto Church, he heads over the goalkeeper into the net! But, but, he's miles offside and the flag is up. Disaster for Wales!
90' +3
B. Sahar enters the game and replaces E. Zahavi.
Vokes finds Ramsey on the edge of the box, he takes a touch before unleashing a shot...but it lacks power and is claimed comfortably by Marciano.
90' +2
Another change for Israel with the referee giving Zahavi the hurry up as he makes his way off the pitch.
90' +1
Another corner, this time by Ramsey. Marciano fumbles it but the whistle has gone. Do not expect Israel to be in a rush to take this by the way.
90'
Into FOUR minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game....
89'
Vokes goes down in the box under pressure from Dgani. Referee says corner, correct decision it was a fine tackle. The corner is straight at Marciano.

86'
S. Vokes enters the game and replaces A. King.

Description
83'
Finally Hennessey makes a save! Biton feeds Ben Haim who crosses for Hemed whose diving header is tipped over by the goalkeeper.
81'
Fingernails are being bitten all around the Millenium Stadium as time ticks away. The game has just gone a little scrappy which will suit the visitors down to the ground.
79'
S. Church enters the game and replaces H. Robson-Kanu.
H. Robson-Kanu gets yellow.
Finally Wales make a change and it's Hal Robson-Kanu the man to go off. On comes Simon Church - he has just over 10 minutes - can he find the winner?
77'
Another hopeful ball forward by Bale but Dasa sees it out of play without too much trouble and Wales just look to be running out of ideas.
75'
Wales starting to take up camp in the Israel half with Bale swinging a ball in towards Ramsey. The goalkeeper misses it but there are so many white shirts back there that finally a defender gets it clear.
73'
Less than 20 minutes to go in Cardiff for Wales who need a goal if they are to confirm their qualification for Euro 2016. No sign of any changes at the moment as Chris Coleman watches on from the sidelines.
71'
The visitors just enjoying a little spell of possession in the Wales half of the pitch without ever threatening Hennessey's goal. The crowd are doing their best to lift the home team who have just had their momentum checked.
69'
A few boos ring around the Millenium Stadium as Israel pop the ball about but they are swiftly replaced by cheers as Natcho fires a shot high and wide.
67'
HANDBALL? Robson-Kanu chases a long ball with Tibi who manages to get the ball away. The Wales striker is convinced he used his arm but the referee is having none of it.
66'
Wales starting to really press now. Richards down the right again crosses for Ramsey but he can't get a good enough contact on it. They've got the crowd going again though, can they capitalise on this spell?
64'
Ramsey lofts a ball into Bale in the box. He jumps with the goalkeeper who fumbles it at the first attempt but reacts quickly to grab the loose ball.
62'
GREAT CHANCE! The corner comes in and King gets a decent header on it but it's straight at Marciano who claims well!
61'
N. Bitton gets yellow.
60'
An hour gone in Cardiff but still no score but the game is a lot more open than the first half. Ramsey and Bale combine again but this time Dgani does enough to force the corner.
59'
J. Richards gets yellow.
58'
Bale takes the free kick... but lifts it just over the bar! What a chance that was!
56'
O. Dgani gets yellow.
B. Natcho gets yellow.
CHANCE FOR WALES! Ramsey dinks a lovely ball to Robson-Kanu who goes tumbling into the box. The crowd howl for a penalty but it's a free kick right on the edge of the box!
55'
Bale is down after a clash of heads with Tibi. The Real Madrid man is getting some treatment but looks like he will be OK to continue. You can almost see the relief on the home fans' faces.
54'
A great tackle by Ramsey gets Wales going. He slides in Bales who surges forwards but gets his shot all wrong and it ends up in row Z.
53'
Some good play from Wales ends with Richards firing a deep ball into Robson-Kanu. He manages to reach the cross but is always stretching and can only head over the bar.
51'
Bale picks out Richards with a great cross-field ball but Wales lose possession and Israel can attack again. You get the feeling the visitors fancy this - which might just give Wales a little bit more space in which to attack.
48'
Israel have begun the second half on the front foot and there is definitely a more attacking edge to their play and a change of strategy from their first half showing.
46'
T. Ben Haim enters the game and replaces B. Kayal.
T. Hemed enters the game and replaces M. Dabbur.
We are back underway at Cardiff! Two changes for the visitors with Dabbur and Kayal off and Ben Haim (another one) and Hemed coming on.
45' +2
HALF TIME! Wales 0-0 Israel. No score at the Millenium Stadium but Wales have been the better team although they've struggled at times to break down a dogged visiting side.
45' +1
E. Dasa gets yellow.
45'
Into ONE minute of added time at the end of the first half...and Dasa goes into the book for time-wasting at a throw in
44'
Corner to Wales, Ramsey fires it in but Dabbur heads clear and the whistle goes anyway with Bale the man penalised.
43'
Some great play by Bale and Ramsey almost creates space for Taylor down the left but the pass is just overhit and rolls out for a throw in. That was better though.
42'
Bale tries to get his team going forwards but his attempted cross is charged down. Once again, Israel are back defending in numbers and there is just no way through.
40'
Ramsey loses possession in midfield and is screaming for a free kick but the referee waves play on and Israel go forwards but the attack comes to nothing as Dasa can't keep the ball in play and it flies out for a goal kick.
39'
The visitors have come back into this game, yet they are still to force Hennessey into a save. Wales are badly in need of some inspiration although the crowd are doing their best to lift their team as half-time approaches.
37'
Bale closes down Marciano who fires a routine clearance straight into the crowd much to the delight of the home fans. Wales have gone flat here and there are a few signs of frustration just starting to show.
35'
Natcho fires a hopeful ball towards Zahavi but it floats harmlessly out of play. I'm not sure Wayne Hennessey in the Wales goal has had anything to do yet.
33'
For the first time this afternoon the crowd have just fallen a little quiet. Israel are here to defend and you imagine, will be quite happy with a 0-0.
31'
Israel enjoy a brief spell of possession inside the Wales half, for possibly the first time this game. However, it all ends abruptly when Dabbur is caught offside.
29'
Wales are playing patient football but it's all taking place in front of the packed Israel defence and goalkeeper Marciano is being protected well.
27'
The intensity of Wales' play has dropped just a little, perhaps unsurpringly after their fast start. That little break in play hasn't helped either but they continue to monopolise possession but without hurting the visitors.
25'
Captain Ben Haim is down and in need of treatment after clashing heads with his own player. He wanders off but it doesn't look too serious and he'll be straight back on.
23'
Wales just popping the ball around in midfield, probing for an opening. Israel however are defending in determined fashion, and in numbers, and the hosts are just struggling to create any clear-cut chances.
21'
Almost mid-way through the first half and it's been all Wales so far with the fans in full voice. Kayal clatters into Richards and is a little fortunate to escape a booking.
19'
Zahavi is denied by Williams who slips but just manages to head the ball to prevent the Israel striker going through on goal. Wales then win a free kick and Dabbur picks up a needless booking for trying to stop the kick being taken quickly.
18'
M. Dabbur gets yellow.
17'
More Wales pressure. Richards comes forwards again down the right, fires in a cross for Ramsey and Wales win a corner. It comes to nothing but suddenly Israel can break.
15'
Israel goalkeeper Marciano dallies over a goal kick which has referee Bebek sprinting over to him. The message is clear, any more of that and you'll be in the book.
13'
HANDBALL! NO? Wales want a penalty! The ball is chipped into the box by Taylor and appears to just hit a defender's hand. There are a few appeals but the referee is having none of it. Cue boos from the home fans.
12'
Aaron Ramsey brings cheers from the crowd after coming under pressure but managing to keep possession and find Ashley Williams despite being surrounded by defenders. The Cardiff crowd are certainly enjoying themselves this afternoon so far.
10'
Richards again pressing hard and managing to force the mistake. He feeds Robson-Kanu who forces a corner which is swung in but Williams is penalised for a foul and Israel have a free kick.
9'
CHANCE FOR WALES! The hosts press hard down the right to steal possession. Robson-Kanu slips King in with just the goalkeeper to beat but his shot is too close to Marciano and Ramsey wastes the rebound.
7'
Ramsey steals possession and races forward. He exchanges passes with Taylor before chipping a cross into the box but it's deflected which makes it easy for goalkeeper Marciano to claim.
5'
Again Wales attack down the left but this time Taylor's pass is cut out on the edge of the box. Still Chris Coleman must be delighted with the start his side have made to this game.
4'
Some nice play down the left sees Taylor and Bale exchange passes. The ball is worked towards Edwards in the box but he's surrounded by defenders. He plays the ball back and Wales keep possession. It's been a confident start by the hosts.
2'
An early attack from Wales get the home crowd in full voice. Robson-Kanu swings a cross into the box from the right but a flying Bale can't quite get his head on it. Moments later and Wales attack again, Ramsey has a shot at goal but it's straight at Marciano.

Wales kick off and we are underway in Cardiff!
Good afternoon all and welcome to Goal as we bring you LIVE coverage of today’s clash between Wales and Israel. It’s a MASSIVE game for Chris Coleman’s men, simply put, win today and a place at Euro 2016 is all theirs. So sit back and relax as we bring you all the action from the Millenium Stadium.
Victory over Cyprus on Friday has left Wales three points clear at the top of Group B and on the brink of qualifying for their first major tournament since 1958. So without any further ado let’s take a check on today’s teams…
So no changes for Chris Coleman's side from the team that beat Cyprus 1-0. Gareth Bale was the match-winner on Thursday and indeed the Real Madrid man has had a hand in eight of Wales' nine qualifying goals (with six goals and two assists). Will he be the star of the show again?
Ashley Williams leads the Wales team out at a sunny Millenium Stadium. The teams line up for the national anthems and we are just minutes away from kick-off in Cardiff.
So no need to panic for Wales just yet but a goal would certainly settle some nerves and bring the crowd into full voice. Worth mentioning Chris Coleman's side have won their last two games 1-0 - which would definitely do the job today.
It's also worth mentioning that Wales can still qualify today with a draw - that's if Belgium also draw their match. Marc Wilmot's team take on Cyprus this evening.
FULL TIME! Wales 0-0 Cyprus! It's all over in Cardiff, Wales tried their utmost but there was no way past a determined Israel.
So Wales must wait to book their place at Euro 2016 but could still qualify today IF Belgium fail to beat Cyprus this evening.
If Belgium do win tonight, then Wales will just need one point and with games to come against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Andorra and Moldova you would imagine it will surely happen at some point.
That's all from me, thanks for your company this evening and hope you enjoying the game. Stay with Goal for all the latest news, match reports and ratings from all tonight's game.
