Wales striker Craig Bellamy shows his despair in Teplice
Wales suffered late heartbreak in Teplice in their opening Euro 2008 qualifier away to the Czech Republic.

An own goal from defender Martin Jiranek seemed to have rescued a point for Wales, after David Lafata's header gave the home side the lead.

But substitute Lafata capped a dream debut by turning in a last-gasp winner.

Craig Bellamy had two gilt-edged chances to score for Wales but failed to round Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech when set free, then later hit a post.
