An attack down the right was finished off by Nicholas Morgan at close range for 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Scotland came close to an equaliser early in the second quarter through a Jamie Golden drag flick, but it was padded clear by the goalkeeper to keep the Scots at bay.<\/p>\n<p>The equaliser soon arrived when Struan Walker pounced in between two Wales defenders to convert an unstoppable effort for 1-1.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the second half Walker came close to a second when he sublimely took the ball down out the air, but his shot skimmed just wide of the left post.<\/p>\n<p>In the final quarter Scotland took the lead. A lightning finish from a Walker at a tight angle found the roof of the net to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>The victory looked certain until 12 seconds left to play when Gareth Griffiths swept the ball into the net to equalise, and finish the game at 2-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home \u00bb News \u00bb Wales late equaliser in Lousada denies Scotland men victory A late equaliser saw Wales&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-299188","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114932381354514298","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
