    What's the story

    Wales held on to clinch a crucial draw in their Group A match of the UEFA Euro 2020 campaign on the second day of the tournament.

    Switzerland got the lead but Wales equalized as the match ended 1-1.

    Meanwhile, Group B saw Iceland beat Denmark, who had earlier seen Christian Eriksen collapse to the ground in the first half.

    Here's the statistical analysis.

    Details

    Finland's win overshadowed by Eriksen's collapse

    Finland won their first game at a major tournament after beating Denmark 1-0.

    However, the match was overshadowed by Eriksen collapsing on the pitch.

    The mid-fielder collapsed after 41 minutes and received CPR on the pitch.

    He was carried off on a stretcher after getting treatment.

    The match was initially suspended before it was informed that Eriksen was stabilized and awake in the hospital.

    Joel Pohjanpalo scored the only goal in the 59th minute.

    Pohjanpalo scored Finland's first-ever goal at the European Championships with what was their first shot in the tournament.

    Meanwhile, Lukas Hradecky is only the third goal-keeper to save a penalty on their debut appearance in the European Championships after Przemyslaw Tyton in 2012 (Poland vs Greece) and Trols Rasmussen in 1988 (Denmark vs Spain).

    Switzerland also squandered several chances.

    Towards the end, Switzerland pushed for victory but were denied by Danny Ward, who made some spectacular saves.
