European qualifiers: Wales U21s leave it late to draw with Lithuania U21
Tuesday 9 September 2014 21:26, UK
Wolves midfielder Lee Evans snatched a 90th-minute equaliser for Wales Under-21s in their 2015 European Championship qualifier against Lithuania in Alytus.
With other results not going their way the point was not enough to lift Geraint Williams' side any higher in Group One and they finished fourth behind England, Moldova and Finland.
Edwards, who late in the first half had been denied by goalkeeper Tomas Svedkauskas, struck late to rescue a 1-1 draw after Wales pushed hard for the equaliser having gone behind to substitute Edvardas Tamulevicius' 81st-minute goal.
Just before the break, Crawley's Gwion Edwards struck the post, with Dovydas Norvilas doing the same moments before the interval.
"We started the game with six under-19 players and three more came on and it was very encouraging as 13 of the 18 are eligible for next year," Williams said.
