Aston Villa are playing in their first European campaign for 13 yearsAston Villa clinched top spot in Group E and their place in the last 16 of the Europa Conference League with a draw at Zrinjski Mostar.
Nicolo Zaniolo's placed effort from substitute John McGinn's second-half cross appeared to have given Villa victory.
However, Matija Malekinusic's curling late effort ensured a nervy finale for the visitors who dominated early on.
Villa finished a point clear of Legia Warsaw, with Zrinjski bottom.
