Good afternoon! Welcome to live coverage of Wales versus Switzerland in Group A of the European Championship, live from the Olympic Stadium in Baku. Italy got off to a flier in this group last night, thumping Turkey 3-0 in Rome, and our two sides this afternoon will be looking to keep pace with them. This is Wales’ second European Championship on the spin, and Robert Page’s players will be looking to revive the spirit of 2016 where Wales embarked on a memorable run to the semi-finals. That’s a stage the Swiss team have never seen; they have just to progress beyond the last eight of a major tournament and will be looking to create history of their own. Team news off the wires from Baku shortly.

Highlights

End of 2nd Half

After Bale runs the ball into the left corner to win a throw, Turpin blows the whistle and it's full-time.

90+4'

It's another corner for Switzerland, Rodriguez takes, it clears everyone, and then Ward gathers Xhaka's follow-up cross.

90+3'

90+2'

GREAT SAVE! Mbabu cuts in and tucks a nice pass through to Gavranovic. He shoots, it catches a deflection and Ward turns it wide just as it threatened to loop over him. As it turns out, Gavranovic was offside.

90+1'

We'll have a minimum of five more minutes as Switzerland force another corner.

90'

CHANCE! The dangerous Embolo slides a pass through to Zakaria on the right, forcing a corner. From it, Embolo rises and his header is tipped over the bar by Ward.

89'

A brief glimpse for Bale as the ball looks to sit up as a half volley near the edge of the area, but Switzerland manage to block.

85'

DISALLOWED GOAL! Gavranovic thought he'd won it! Some neat interplay from Switzerland on the edge of the area leads to Embolo nodding it through to Gavarnovic, who thumps in a volley from eight yards out. He's half a yard off though, and it's chalked.

84'

Seferovic is coming off for Switzerland, replaced by Mario Gavranovic.

83'

A lovely back heel from Bale finds Brooks on the left on the area. He glides a low ball in to the back post where the sliding Ramsey can't connect.

82'

'Don't Take Me Home' is ringing around the Olympic Stadium in Baku. That's lovely to hear, it really is.

81'

Seferovic wins a ball he has no right to near the Welsh goalline. He lays the ball back to Zakaria on the edge, whose shot is blocked by Mepham.

79'

Wales work a shooting chance for Davies on the edge but again it's well off target.

77'

There's some heat under this now. A dangerous cross finds Embolo at the back post; he can't guide his header on target but was offside anyway.

75'

What a last 15 we've got now. Page makes his first change, with a not exactly chuffed Daniel James making way for David Brooks.

GOAL! Wales 1 (Moore 74) Switzerland 1

Wales are level! It's another set piece, and Wales work it short to Morrell on the right corner of the area. He whips it into the area and Moore gets across the Swiss defence to glance a deft header into the bottom left corner!

73'

That's better from Wales. Davies speeds it up, playing a one-two and crossing from the left, which Freuler puts behind for a corner.

72'

A lengthy spell of possession for Wales ends when Mbabu cuts out a tired switch of play to James.

69'

A lull, as both teams seem to be gearing themselves for the last 20. Wales look a bit out of ideas in this second half, and might need to switch this up to get some momentum going.

66'

A change for Switzerland, as Zakaria replaces Shaqiri.
