FT Wales 1 - 1 Georgia

Wales have dropped two precious World Cup qualifying points with a 1-1 draw against Georgia.

Gareth Bale headed Wales in front from a 10th-minute corner and the Euro 2016 semi-finalists should have extended their lead before half-time.

But Georgia levelled through Tornike Okriashvili's 57th-minute header and almost won it during a strong finish when Valeri Kazaishvili struck the crossbar.

And Wales should have been punished when Bale lost possession and Davies' weak challenge allowed Okriashvili to leave Levan Mchedlidze with the goal at his mercy.

But Mchedlidze's effort drifted wide of the post with the advancing Hennessey beaten.

The Wales defence was wobbling badly and Gvilia went close with a long-range effort before Kazaishvili struck the crossbar from 20 yards.

Bale's free-kick fell just outside the post and Robson-Kanu saw his shot saved by Loria as Wales mounted a late charge.

But Georgia were worthy of their first point in the World Cup qualifying campaign to dent Welsh ambitions on the road to Russia.
