Wales made to pay for concentration lapse, says Coleman (Reuters)

By Toby Davis LYON, France (Reuters) - Wales manager Chris Coleman said he was "immensely proud" of his team after their hopes of reaching the Euro 2016 final were dashed by a brief lapse of focus during a 2-0 defeat by Portugal on Wednesday. Wales, playing their first semi-final in a major tournament, more than matched their opponents in the opening half but they were dealt a knockout blow after the break when Portugal scored two goals in a matter of minutes. "We lost our concentration for five minutes and when you're up against quality in a semi-final, you're going to get punished," Coleman told reporters.
