UNDER 17 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP: Wales cling on to hold Slovenia

/noticias.info/ David Stephens struck a spectacular volley 12 minutes from time to ensure Wales held Slovenia in their opening UEFA European Under-17 Championship Elite round Group 5 game in Northern Ireland.

Short-lived lead
Slovenia, who only made this stage in a fair-play tie-break, had the better of the play and let in the 51st minute through Adnan Bešić. But Stephens scored from distance to level matter, and although Slovenia then hit the bar, Wales held on, though manager Brian Flynn lost captain Kai Edwards to a head injury. On Wednesday, in this British-dominated pool, Wales face Scotland and Slovenia take on Northern Ireland. notas_de_prensa_archivo
