Vucinic scored on a counter attack in the 30th minute, beating goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey with a hard shot off the right-hand post.
Vucinic had another opportunity in the 22nd, but missed a header.
Wales had several chances to equalize in the second half, but Ashley Williams missed two headers in 64th and 74th, and Craig Bellamy had his effort saved on a counter attack in 84th.
