    Now would seem an optimal time for Wales to make some chances.

    Rachel Rowe and Ceri Holland, especially, have been working overtime.

    The Welsh players look a bit tired, don't they?

    Wales have to ensure that they limit the amount crosses Portugal put into the box.

    Telma Encarncao goes for an audacious overhead kick, but Olivia Clark is able to save.

    If Telma Encarncao goes past Esther Morgan once, she's going to do it again and again.

    I can't see Gemma Grainger making a wholesale amount of changes unless she has to.

    The crosses into the box have to be a lot better from Wales.

    Wales need to try and get possession of the ball back.

    The problem came from Wales' left hand side, Esther Morgan couldn't keep up with Telma Encarncao.

    You have to applaud the goal. It was a hell of a shot.

    It all started from Wales losing possession of the ball, Ceri Holland just had a heavy touch and Portugal looked to utilise their wide players quickly.

    It seemed Olivia Clark was quite slow to react; meaning she couldn't see it, because of the bodies in front of her.

    I think you would have to say Portugal have deserved that.

    Wales were the better side for 20 minutes, but the hosts have been on top since.

    GOAL - Portugal 1-0 Walespublished at 49 mins

    Telma Encarncao

    Great goal.

    Telma Encarncao works some space, beats Esther Morgan and her left-footed shot through a crowd beats Olivia Clark, who would have seen it late.

    Wales continue to press high.

    4-3-3, high-press, this side under Gemma Grainger has a very clear identity.

    That position of Francisca Nazareth has caused a lot of problems because she has been given free range, sometimes drifts in to those central areas and sometimes drifts out to the left hand side.

    In the last few years, we've showed our resilience, solidity but in terms of retaining possession, patience in possession, getting bodies in the box - that's an area we can improve, we can see that, we saw it on Thursday night against Northern Ireland.
