Gareth Bale claimed a point for Wales as they drew 1-1 with World Cup runners-up Croatia on Sunday which left their Euro 2020 qualifying hopes on a knife-edge.

Bale, who has had a difficult start to the season at Real Madrid, scored during first-half injury time after Nikola Vlasic's opener for Zlatko Dalic's men.

"We need to win our next two games, and that's all we're concentrating on. It won't be easy but we're capable of it," said Wales coach Ryan Giggs whose side now face a trip to Azerbaijan before hosting Hungary in November.

He added: "When Gareth gets in those positions he never lets you down, just the composure, not many chances but when he does get them he puts them away."
