Wales Women’s 200th official match almost saw them take an early lead but Lana Golob’s tackle prevented Tash Harding from turning in Jess Fishlock’s through ball.

Rhiannon Roberts’ headers twice brought saves from Zala Mersnik but it was Slovenia who took the lead when Manja Rogan netted.

However, Gemma Grainger’s side hit back instantly, a free kick from Angharad James headed in by Green, who was sent off moments later for a late challenge on the keeper.

Both sides had chances to take all three points but it finished 1-1 and Wales now prepare to host Estonia at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday.

More than 3,800 tickets have already been sold, fans can purchase theirs at faw.cymru/tickets. The match is also live on BBC Two Wales, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website.
