    As Kath says that, a brilliant freekick from Lily Woodham, but it just evades a Wales head.

    I must say once the crosses do reach the box that's when the Philippines feel most uncomfortable so we need to see more of those early and deep crosses from Wales.

    A brilliant cross from Rhiannon Roberts, but her effort flashes right across goal without a Wales player getting a decisive touch.

    Since the last game we played the equal pay has come in which is massive for the future, a landmark occasion and it's set up for the young players that are just starting the game or involved in the game. They now know there's a clear pathway and future in front of them.

    Some settled possession for Wales now.

    They are beginning to probe for a second with Sophie Ingle and Angharad James gliding around, controlling the game.

    Brave goalkeeping from Olivia McDaniel, she gathers the ball even though she knows she can't stop Ceri Holland running straight into her.

    In terms of the play in the final third Wales need to be better and more accurate and quicker. The quality in the delivery needs to be a lot better and I'd like to see more bodies getting forward.

    Philippines much more positive at the start of the second half, which should create more attacking space for Wales.

    A first real test for Safia Middleton-Patel as substitute Katrina Guillou fires in a shot, but Middleton-Patel produces a strong save.

    A big moment for her.

  13. Landmark equal pay dealpublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    Wales v Philippines (19:30 GMT)

    ICYMI.... This is already a significant year for women's football in Wales.

    Wales' men's and women's senior players will be paid the same for representing their country for the first time.

    The Football Association of Wales [FAW] have agreed a deal that will see equal pay come into effect immediately with tonight's game the first match since the new agreement was put into place.

    The Wales men's senior team have agreed to a 25% pay cut to enable a 25% rise for the women's team that will mean parity for representing Wales.

    "I am really happy about the equal pay, it is about equality," Wales boss Gemma Grainger explained.

    Wales 100% deserve to be ahead. I think if they would've been disappointed to finish the half without a goal.

    The Philippines will be a bit angry conceding that penalty right before half time.

    A really cool and composed finish there from Kayleigh Green and great time to get the opener for Wales.

    I think Wales' passing has been fine, but not arguing with Kath Morgan is one of the first things they teach you at journalism school.

    Wales need to show a bit more quality in the final third, we're trying to create patterns but unfortunately the quality in the passing hasn't been there so far.
