Wales manager Chris Coleman was immensely proud of his players as they battled their way to a 0-0 Euro 2016 qualifying draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday.
The Dragons continued their unbeaten start to their Group B campaign, although Ashley Williams missed a close-range header which could have secured them victory.
Coleman joked about his captaining's finishing ability but also praised him for leading a brave Welsh rearguard which was inspired by what the 44-year-old felt was an "incredible" atmosphere inside the Cardiff City Stadium.
"The performance pleased me more than the point. The crowd were incredible, the atmosphere reminded me of when I was a player and we took on teams at Cardiff Arms Park," Coleman told Sky Sports News.
"We rode our luck a little, but so did they. The players were magnificent, I was so proud of them. Lads were throwing their heads in front of shots and we need to have that mentality.
"Ashley Williams is one of the best defenders I've seen in Welsh football. Maybe when he attacks corners at the other end, he looks like he's defending them. But he came off that pitch and he had no more to give. It was a magnificent performance."
Wales are currently top of Group B ahead of their qualifier against Cyprus on Monday.
