🏴 It's Wales who have the first attack!
Ramsey opens the game up with a nice wee flick, and Dan James gets down the left flank to cross.
Keeper has that covered.

The fans are in... 
Switzerland have put together a useful attack.
But they're met by good defensive work from Joe Allen.
➡️Referee Dick Turpin gives a corner to Switzerland
"That was clearly the Swiss guy who headed that out" says @alantyers

🏴The Welsh started this the better but Swiss have taken control in the last few minutes.
🌡️It's a sweltering day in Baku, some of the Welsh guys are getting a drink already

🏴Wales go so close to an opener!
Big Kieffer Moore is up for a towering header and he makes a solid contact, sending a great header back across.
🥅 He's only blocked by a really superb save from the Swiss keeper

💥As he went up for a header at the corner, Moore then accidentally put the head on Mbabu.
Both of them got a nasty bang there.
Bit of a game delay because Moore is now bleeding

🇨🇭Now it is the Swiss who have a corner and it's nearly a wonder goal.
Fabian Schar with a sensational little flick at the near post, superbly kept out by the Wales goalie!

⏱️It's been a stop start sort of a game.
There have been a couple of moments of real excitement with that Scharr flick at the corner and the beefy header from Moore, but other than that, it's been a bit cagey.
"This ref likes to get involved. It is hot." says @alantyers

🏴Wales are under pressure.
"Too many crosses are getting into that Welsh box," says Robbie Savage.
One is half cleared and Xhaka drills it back in, but drags his shot wide from distance

⚽️You fear for Wales here.
The Swiss are able to get the ball out wide and are delivering a series of crosses into dangerous areas. Seferovic gathers, spins, shoots... just wide!!

Dan James makes lethal break here - amazing pace. Scharr has been done here and he is panicking.
He shoves James to the floor on the edge of the box!
🟨"That's a yellow card all day long"

⚽️ Bale freekick on the corner of the penalty area, left side
He tries to swing in the free-kick, rather than shoot, and it comes to nothing

🇨🇭The Swiss have a corner.
It doesn't trouble the keeper but does manage to ping it off a Welsh defender and they can have another go.
🥅That one's cleared easily

⚽️ Ball hit forward for big K Moore, Scharr fouls him in the centre circle!
Dangerous game from Fabian Scharr.. not just because Kieffer Moore looks like he eats a light aircraft for breakfast, but because the Swiss is on a yellow already.
➡️Referee Turpin sees no harm in it

🇨🇭A chance for Switzerland.
Ball into the box, Embolo feeds the ball to Seferovic.
Luckily for Wales, the striker's ball is wide

⏰HALF TIME
Here's @alantyers's verdict:
🇨🇭The Swiss have had more dangerous moments and, in this heat, look to have more quality about them.
🏴The Welsh started well but the set-piece count is climbing and one false move could be fatal.

🟨 Moore goes into the book. He picks up a yellow after catching Schar with a stray elbow.
Not intentional at all, but he did clip him.

Another delay of the game.
💥 Dan James and Embolo tangle.
➡️ The latter gets a sore one on the back of the ankle and is limping to the sideline

🟨Mbabu goes into the book for bringing down James.
@alantyers says Mbabu "is wrongly booked for a perfectly fair tackle"
"Honestly, this ref."

⚽️ GOAL!!!
🏴Wales 1 🇨🇭Switzerland 1 (Moore)
He's done it! That corner is taken short, played back, delivered in by Morrell and there's big Kieffer Moore to header it in!
➡️The Welsh are back on terms and Switzerland can hardly believe it

📸Here's the moment Kieffer Moore of Wales scored past Yann Sommer
🥅Gavranovic has only been on for a tiny bit - and he has the ball in the net!
But is it offside?
📺VAR Check.... yes!
The Welsh breathe a HUGE sigh of relief
