A late equaliser by James Loveridge salvaged a point for Wales in their second UEFA Under 17 group game against Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Richard Peniket had given Wales the lead early in the second half when the Fulham striker ended a good move, when he blasted his shot from the right hand side of area across the keeper and into the far corner. Bosnia & Herzegovina fought back a deservedly took a 2-1 lead. But with time running out Swansea’s James Loveridge popped up in the box to scramble home the equaliser.
Goals: Peniket 43 ,
Maletic 48, Sarvan 63, Loveridge 80.
"The positive from this game is that we're still top of the table, with everything still in our hands to qualify from the group." - Brian Flynn
