Kieffer Moore’s second half header gave Wales a vital point in their opening Group A Euro 2020 outing but that paled into insignificance when Denmark’s Christian Eriksen collapsed near the end of the first half in his country’s opening match against Finland.

The midfielder is now in a stable condition in hospital after he appeared to receive a heart massage as well as several electric shocks to the chest from medical staff.

The 29-year-old received treatment for about 10 minutes before being taken off on a stretcher.

The match, which was postponed, was restarted some time later at the request of both teams after it became apparent Eriksen was stable, with Finland winning 1-0.

Aberystwyth’s Rhys Norrington-Davies, an unused substitute for Wales in the 1-1 draw against top-10 ranked opponents Switzerland, said: “The team thought it was a fair result and the mood in the camp after the game was very good until Christian Eriksen collapsed and as a number of the Tottenham players knew him personally their thoughts soon turned to him and his recovery.

“The atmosphere became very subdued with the breaking news.”

He added: “We go again Wednesday and need that win.”

Going into Saturday’s match much had been made of who manager Rob Page would select in goal and if striker Kieffer Moore would get a start.

The decision to opt for Danny Ward as goalkeeper and go with Moore as a recognised forward certainly paid off with the Leicester City keeper pulling off a string of saves to keep Cymru in the match while Moore’s glancing header after a clever run to get onto Joe Morrell’s cross grabbed a share of the spoils.

Breel Embolo put the Swiss ahead early in the second half when he used his strength to hold off Connor Roberts to head past Ward and they thought they had a late winner but substitute Mario Gavranovic was adjudged offside by VAR after slotting the ball past Ward.

Wales will need to show the same fighting spirit and up the performance levels when they take on Turkey on Wednesday in what will be a vital game to decide the outcome of the group.

Manager Rob Page told BBC Sport after the game: “We wanted a positive start and it feels like a win in the changing room.

“We had to dig deep at the end and we had a little bit of luck with the offside as well.

“We wanted a positive performance and I certainly got that from them.

“Switzerland we knew they were going to have a lot of the ball with how they play, so we knew we had to be solid and well-organised defensively and I thought we did that in the first half.

“We became a bit too stretched and they took advantage of that.”
