Thank you and good night

That's all from us tonight.

The USA got the send-off they wanted, finishing with a win before they travel to Australia and New Zealand to defend their World Cup crown.

But they were made to work hard by a dilligent Wales side, who held their own against the four-time world champions.

Next up for Gemma Grainger's side will be their inaugural Nations League campaign in September.

We'll have live coverage of those games as well but, for tonight, that's a wrap. Thanks for joining us. Nos da!

Highlights: USA 2-0 Wales

Wales boss Grainger pleased with performance

Wales head coach Gemma Grainger tells BBC Match of the Day Wales: "We can be really pleased with it [the performance] for so many reasons.

"We wanted to find out if we had players who could step in, and we do.

"For us as a team, this couldn't have been a better game for us.

"The depth is something we've been striving for.

"We're focused on qualifying for a major tournament and this felt like playing at a major tournament."

'Pride with a sense of satisfaction'

Helen Ward

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The feeling will be pride. There is a sense of satisfaction over the way they played, maybe a little disappointment of how the goals were conceded but when you are under that pressure, it's always going to be a mistake that led to a US goal.

Wales will be satisfied but know that there is a lot to work on.

But that experience will be huge for so many of those players and Gemma Grainger herself setting up a team for the first time against the USA... she would have learnt a lot from that as well.

'Wales heroic and brave'

Katie Sherwood

Former Wales midfielder on BBC One Wales

It's heroic and brave to go toe to toe with the USA.

We showed we have come a long way in our physical abilities and athleticism because now we have players playing at the top level, which is showing in these performances.

Wales captain Angharad James tells BBC Match of the Day Wales: "I'm immensely proud of the group.

"The way we performed, the game plan, individual battles... we went all the way with the world champions and that shows how far we've come.

"I think we can take that into the Nations League and to qualify [for major tournaments] in the future.

"I'm proud of everyone today."

'Unbelievable performance'

Nia Jones

Former Wales international on BBC Two Wales

That was a phenomenal performance from this Welsh group, where they are in their season, the amount of experienced players they are missing tonight the occasion that the USA put on before they head to the World Cup in peak physical condition.

It was an unbelievable performance from Wales and it will give them a huge confidence boost going in to the Nations League.

'This game will serve Wales well'

Helen Ward

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The experience this will bring for the players, coming up against some of the world's best, is going to serve Wales well for games going forward.

FULL-TIME - USA 2-0 Wales

There's the final whistle.

A gutsy effort from Wales, 30th in the world rankings, to go toe-to-toe with the best team on the planet.

The USA were always on top but could not find a way past their determined opponents until the 76th minute when substitute Trinity Rodman scored the opening goal.

Rodman added a superb second 11 minutes later but Wales can certainly be proud of their effort against the reigning world champions.

Into the final minute of added time.

'Tired legs out there'

Helen Ward

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

There are a lot of tired legs out there.

USA have brought on brilliant players that can run channels and create problems.

It is a lot more stretched in terms of the game and spaces opening up.

The USA are going to attack until the end, as Sophia Smith proves with a stinging shot which Olivia Clark palms away.

We're into added time, of which there will be four minutes.

'Outstanding finish'

Gwennan Harries

Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales

Wales can feel aggrieved. It was a clear foul on the build-up [by Trinity Rodman on Ceri Holland] but that was an outstanding finish.

GOAL - USA 2-0 Wales

A beautiful strike!

Wales are on the ropes, losing possession inside their own penalty area and desperately blocking a flurry of American shots.

But they can only half-clear to Trinity Rodman on the edge of the box, where she elegantly curls the ball into the top corner.

Two for the USA, two for Rodman.

'Wales have just kicked it away'

Gwennan Harries

Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales

When Wales have won possession of the ball back it is just being composed enough to find the pass and that shift in mentality of how can we develop our attacking game and possession game.

There have been so many occasions where they have just kicked it away.

USA substitute Trinity Rodman has made a big impact and she has another chance, but heads straight at Olivia Clark.

Waiting for Emily Sonnett to do something after coming on for the USA so we can unleash the poetry puns...

YELLOW CARD

Wales have a corner. Falling behind seems to have sparked them into life as an attacking force.

Alas, Angharad James' corner is cleared.

USA's Sophia Smith sets off on a counter-attack but is brought down by Ceri Holland, who is booked.

SUBSTITUTION

A couple more changes for the USA. Emily Sonnett is on, as is Kristie Mewis.
