    Two different types of games, first half there were some good elements to our play, second half we found it more difficult.

    We have to show a bit of resilience and stay in the game.

    We have players who can do stuff like that, Jess Fishlock, Rachel Rowe who can come up with those types of moments.

    All-in-all Gemma Grainger will be really pleased with how the week has gone.

    It was a great goal to get back in to the game, Wales really showed their resilience and attacking threat.

    Fantastic technique and execution by Rachel Rowe, the keeper had no chance.

    Fantastic. You have give credit to Wales, especially in the first half, they were professional, they controlled the game, they were the better side.

    Portugal then made changes. It was a game of two halves but Wales did enough and you have to say, the two goals were brilliant.

    Gemma Grainger and her team will be happy with what they produced.

    That's it!

    Excellent result for Wales.

    A brilliant equaliser, with the night a little tarnished by Sophie Ingle's red card.

    Portugal concede a needless freekick.

    Wales have one last chance to get the ball into the box.

    It was a lazy tackle by Sophie Ingle. Physically, she was not making it.

    There has been a couple of occasions where Sophie Ingle has pulled out or hesitated on a tackle, she has no complaints about that, it is just poor timing really.

    Wales lose the ball dangerously, but Ana Dias fires wide.

    Sophie Ingle can have no complaints about her second yellow card and many complaints about her first one.

    We have individuals on the field now and they just look really tired, they are trying their best but can they hold on now.

    We will have six minutes of added on time, not sure why.

    There is no need for Jess Fishlock to stay on the field now. It's a friendy match, she played 90 minutes against Northern Ireland.

    Fatima Pinto is booked for a tired foul on Jess Fishlock.
