Last-gasp strike denies Wales

16 November 2013 20:16

Wales manager Chris Coleman was denied victory in the first game since agreeing his new contract as Riku Riski struck a stoppage-time equaliser to earn Finland a 1-1 draw in Cardiff.

Andy King, only playing after Aaron Ramsey came down with the flu, had put Wales ahead on 58 minutes, converting a header from point-blank range after good work by Joe Ledley and Hal Robson-Kanu.

Finland had gone close through Celtic striker Teemu Pukki, who struck the woodwork in the first half, before Riski levelled with a cool finish at the end.
