Ceri Holland had a header saved, moments after Laura O’Sullivan made a smart stop with an outstretched boot.

Kayleigh Green had a goal ruled out for offside, a Holland strike was turned into the crossbar.

Green again had the ball in the net midway through the second-half but it was also ruled out for offside.

More frustration followed for Wales as both substitute Ffion Morgan and Jess Fishlock had efforts disallowed for offside in quick succession.

The breakthrough finally came on 105 minutes, with a superb Fishlock volley from Rachel Rowe’s free kick.
