Wales looked set for a shock win before a Paul Jones error gifted a goal for Croatia 12 mins from time.

Report from BBC Wales.
A mistake by goalkeeper Paul Jones cost Wales the chance of an impressive away victory over Croatia on Wednesday.
Simon Davies scored his first international goal to put Wales ahead in the first-half, but Croatia grabbed an equaliser with ten minutes to go.
Jones' attempted clearance rebounded off Croatia's Mario Maric towards Mladen Petric, who made no mistake in front of a virtually open goal.
The home side dominated possession and probably deserved a share of the spoils.
But Wales, without the services of many key players, will be bitterly disappointed to have been denied a win in such sloppy circumstances.
Perfect start
Wales took the lead on 11 minutes thanks to a glorious individual goal by Davies.
He picked up the ball inside his own half and immediately set his sights on attacking the heart of the Croatia defence.
The Tottenham midfielder glided past two would-be tacklers and a superb change of angle took him past the last defender.
Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa rushed off his line to close the angle, but Davies kept his composure and coolly slotted the ball home under the keeper's body.
Wales, sticking to their formation of five in midfield with John Hartson as the lone striker, were then forced firmly onto the back foot.
A new look and relatively inexperienced Croatia - playing only their 100th international - controlled the game and began to get behind the Welsh defenders.
Jones twice saved well to deny Tomislav Maric from close range and then a fierce drive from Filip Tapalovic.
On the stroke of half-time, Jones was again called upon to protect his side's lead when Josep Simunic sprung the offside trap and drilled his shot towards the bottom left-hand corner.
Changes
Croatia made five substitutions for the second-half, but the pattern of the opening 45 minutes remained - plenty of possession without causing too many problems.
In fact it was Wales who came closest to scoring.
A Mark Pembridge corner was only half cleared and Davies' left foot shot from the edge of the penalty area came within inches of nestling in the back of the net.
Wales captain Andy Melville and Daniel Gabbidon were outstanding as they continued to frustrate the home side with superb last ditch challenges
The home side looked to have run out of ideas and the handful of Welsh supporters braving the rain were preparing to celebrate a famous victory.
But Jones' blunder gifted Croatia a soft equaliser and took some of the shine off another heartening performance.
