Kieffer Moore scored late to help Wales hold Switzerland to a 1-1 draw in Group A at the European Championship.

Moore had his head wrapped in red bandages after an early collision and then used it to nod in a cross from Joe Morrell in the 74th minute after a short corner.

Switzerland dominated possession and wasted a string of chances before Breel Embolo headed in the opening goal in the 49th off a corner from Xherdan Shaqiri.

Switzerland substitute Mario Gavranovic volleyed the ball into the Welsh net late but it was ruled out for offside on a video review.

Italy leads Group A at Euro 2020 after its 3-0 win over Turkey on Friday.
