Moore helps Wales earn draw vs Switzerland

Baku (Azerbaijan), June 12

With his head wrapped in bandages the same colour as his red shirt, Keiffer Moore nodded in an equaliser to give Wales a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the second match of football’s European Championship.

Game suspended

Copenhagen: The Euro 2020 match between Denmark and Finland was suspended Saturday after Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field near the end of the first half with the scoreboard reading 0-0. The medical staff tried to resuscitate Eriksen for about 10 minutes before he was stretchered off. Eriksen had collapsed at the touchline with no players around him.

The goal off a cross from Joe Morrell in the 74th minute hinted that Wales could again be surprise contenders at Euro 2020, like they were five years ago when the team reached the Euro 2016 semifinals. Moore nearly gave Wales a lead with a looping header which Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer stretched to push over the bar, but he was hurt in a clash on the resulting corner. Switzerland dominated possession but wasted numerous chances. — AP/PTI
