Wales fans made an emotional return after 18 months away, but their team could only muster a goalless draw with Albania in their final friendly before Euro 2020.
While a crowd limited to 6,500 at Cardiff City Stadium provided the noise of a full house, the first half was a damp squib in which a disjointed Wales side struggled.
The half-time introduction of striker Kieffer Moore gave the hosts some much-needed attacking impetus, with Neco Williams forcing Albania goalkeeper Gentian Selmani into a fine save.
Despite that improvement, Wales could not summon the moment of quality to overcome spiky opponents ranked 49 places below them in the Fifa world rankings.
Wales have plenty to work on, says defender Davies
Although Wales would have liked to have prepared for next Saturday's opening Euro 2020 fixture against Switzerland with a more convincing performance, the second half was at least a marked upgrade on the first. And more importantly, they managed to avoid any late injuries and give several of their players a useful workout.
