Bengaluru, June 12: Wales and Switzerland played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in a Group A encounter of Euro 2020 with Kieffer Moore cancelling out Breel Embolo's opener.

Switzerland had won their previous six games and were on course for another victory when Embolo guided in Xherdan Shaqiri's corner early in the 48th minute.

However, Cardiff City striker Moore, who was recalled to Wales' starting line-up justified interim boss Rob Page's selection call by earning his side a crucial point.
