The Republic of Moldova have missed out on a first ever gold medal at the European Games, after Piotr Ianulov tasted defeat against Abdulrashid Sadulaev in the men's 86kg freestyle.
Ianulov beat Sandro Aminashvili in the semi-finals to advance through at the Heydar Aliyev Arena, but he was outclassed by his Russian opponent in the final.
Despite losing out on gold, it is still a best ever result for Moldova at the Games, building on their two previous bronze-medal successes at this year's competition so far.
Radoslaw Marcinkiewicz and Aminashvili, of Poland and Georgia respectively, had to settle for bronze in the wrestling event.
