Wales are set for Euro 2025 elimination after suffering a 4-1 defeat against France in St Gallen.
France took the lead on seven minutes as Clara Mateo controlled beautifully and volleyed home after Wales failed to clear from the third corner they had conceded in quick succession.
Wales were behind for only five minutes as Jess Fishlock finished from close range. Ceri Holland beat the France offside trap and crossed on the ground for Fishlock after her first effort was blocked - and though the goal was initially disallowed for offside, it was given after a video assistant referee check.
The goal galvanised Wales, who were highly competitive in a first half of real quality, with Rhian Wilkinson's side more comfortable in possession and threatening on the counter.
However, just as in the first game against the Netherlands, Wales were undone on the stroke of half-time as a rash challenge by Holland on Mateo allowed Kadidiatou Diani to score from the penalty spot, with Wales goalkeeper Safia Middleton-Patel agonisingly close to saving the effort with her legs as the ball trickled over the line.
Middleton-Patel's mistake gave France a decisive third goal on 53 minutes as she hesitated with the ball at her feet and Mateo picked her pocket, stealing the ball and picking a perfect pass for Amel Majri, who whipped the ball across goal into the bottom corner of the net.
Grace Geyero scored from close range on 63 minutes, with Middleton-Patel making several saves to ensure the contest did not turn into a rout.
Defeat means Wales are now effectively eliminated from Euro 2025, with their hopes of progressing in miracle territory, needing to beat holders England by a four-goal margin and hope France beat Netherlands on Sunday. France need a point against the Dutch to secure qualification as Group D winners.
