Belgium 0-0 Wales (Belgium win 3-1 on penalties)

Wales' hopes of lifting the Pinatar Cup were ended as they were beaten by Belgium in a penalty shootout.

Wales were impressive in a competitive 0-0 draw but misses by Charlie Estcourt, Lily Woodham and Angharad James saw them beaten 3-1 on penalties.

Wales can be pleased with their display at a blustery Pinatar Arena as they held the tournament's top-ranked team.

Substitute Megan Wynne missed Wales' best chance while Sarah Wijnants struck the post for Belgium.

Belgium will now play Russia in Tuesday's final, while Wales will face Republic of Ireland who lost 1-0 to Russia in the other semi-final.

Wales boss Gemma Grainger opted to rotate her squad, despite Belgium being tough opponents, as she keeps her focus primarily on Wales' World Cup qualifying campaign.

Goalkeeper Olivia Clark came into the side for just her third cap, while Estcourt and Woodham were drafted into a new-look Wales defence.

Orlando Pride midfielder James was also a starter after arriving to the camp late, meaning she was a substitute as Wales beat holders Scotland 3-1 in their opening match, while Carrie Jones was given a chance to impress as an attacking midfielder.

It was Wales who fashioned the first chance of the contest as Jess Fishlock - who scored twice against Scotland - saw her effort fly just over the crossbar.

Belgium created very little in the first half with Wales defending resolutely and only Marie Minnaert's miss from close range caused them a scare.

Wales ended the half on the front foot with Fishlock's shot from distance saved by Diede Lemey at the second attempt.

Grainger made two further changes at half-time with Gemma Evans and Ffion Morgan introduced and Morgan's first contribution was a fine cross that Kayleigh Green headed at Lemey.

Belgium did not fully test 20-year old goalkeeper Clark until the hour mark when James uncharacteristically gave the ball away and Wijnants shot powerfully at goal, with Clark tipping the ball away at full stretch.

Clark also averted a dangerous corner with the wind swirling, while Rhiannon Roberts did well to block Minnaert's shot.

The wind made defending set-pieces extremely difficult and Green might have done better with a header from a corner on 65 minutes, but she could not keep her effort on target, while at the other end Wijnants fired wide in a crowded penalty area.

Wijnants was a constant threat and her cross struck the base of the post with Clark beaten as Belgium sent on several of their more established players in search of a winning goal.

Manchester United's Chloe Williams was given her debut and she was involved in a flowing move that culminated in a perfect cross from Woodham, but substitute Wynne shot just wide as she stretched to turn the ball home with six minutes remaining.

Belgium substitute Jarne Teulings curled just wide with a minute of normal time remaining, but Wales held firm to earn a penalty shoot-out.

Wales made an ideal start as Green scored and Minnaert struck the post, but Wales missed their next three kicks and can now only finish third.

Wales manager Gemma Grainger:

"I thought it was an unbelievable performance, it is really building belief in this group.

"This tournament was about building belief and momentum and that is what we have done.

"We have won our first game and drawn our second game against teams used to playing at major tournaments.

"It is such a proud moment for us as a group that our young players stepping up and delivering in games."
