Wolves midfielder Lee Evans snatched a 90th-minute equaliser for Wales Under-21s in their 2015 European Championship qualifier against Lithuania in Alytus.
With other results not going their way the point was not enough to lift Geraint Williams' side any higher in Group One and they finished fourth behind England, Moldova and Finland.
Edwards, who late in the first half had been denied by goalkeeper Tomas Svedkauskas, struck late to rescue a 1-1 draw after Wales pushed hard for the equaliser having gone behind to substitute Edvardas Tamulevicius' 81st-minute goal.
Just before the break Crawley's Gwion Edwards struck the post, with Dovydas Norvilas doing similarly moments before the interval.
"We started the game with six under-19 players and three more came on and it was very encouraging as 13 of the 18 are eligible for next year," Williams told Press Association Sport.
"We asked them to play possession football and in the first half, aside from not taking our chances - the goalkeeper made two good saves and we hit the woodwork - we bossed the game.
"Second half Lithuania came out more physical and they took the lead but we came back to get a good draw."
