Chris Coleman laments missed chance for Wales

Wales 1 Georgia 1: Chris Coleman said Wales were punished for not “taking care of business” as they were held at home by Georgia.

Gareth Bale’s early header gave Wales the lead in this World Cup qualifier but they failed to build on that advantage, conceded a second-half equaliser to Tornike Okriashvili and could easily have lost the game.

The result suited the Republic of Ireland and Wales’s fellow Group D challengers, but Coleman refused to accept this was a major setback to Welsh qualification hopes: “People will look at it as two points dropped but it might be a point gained at the end of the day, in the second half.
