'Wales will be disappointed'
USA 1-0 Wales
Gwennan Harries
Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales
Superb piece of play. Wales got caught sqaure. They will be so disappointed, after being so organised and well positioned, to concede that goal
That is when the Americans are at their strongest, using that pace.
GOAL - USA 1-0 Wales
Trinity Rodman
Trinity Rodman won't be denied this time!
Sophia Smith breaks free in the Welsh penalty area and, rather than shoot, the USA forward unselfishly squares the ball for Rodman to finish into an empty net.
Wales' resistance is finally broken.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
The USA want a penalty as Trinity Rodman falls under a challenge from Rhiannon Roberts but referee Karen Hernandez waves play on.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Wales offer a reminder that they're not just here to defend as Hannah Cain shoots from 20 yards and into the side netting.
'Morgan and Wynne will cause problems with their pace'
USA 0-0 Wales
Gwennan Harries
Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales
We are going to get a lot of pace now to stretch the Americans.
Ffion Morgan and Megan Wynne like to run in behind and cause problems with their pace.
SUBSTITUTION
USA 0-0 Wales
Two changes for Wales.
Megan Wynne is on for Carrie Jones, while Ffion Morgan replaces Kayleigh Green.
'Fantastic clearance from Green'
USA 0-0 Wales
Helen Ward
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
Fantastic clearance from Kayleigh Green.
That is certainly the closest USA have come in this second half and probably the whole game.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Off the line!
Superb defending from Wales striker Kayleigh Green as she blocks on the line to deny the USA the opening goal.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Still no Megan Rapinoe. Surely there will be an outing for the great American forward before she sets off for a fourth successive World Cup?
SUBSTITUTION
USA 0-0 Wales
And here comes that "scary" bench, with three changes for the USA.
Sofia Huerta, Lynn Williams and Savannah DeMelo come on for Emily Fox, Alyssa Thompson and Ashley Sanchez.
'It is scary to think how good USA's bench is'
USA 0-0 Wales
Gwennan Harries
Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales
As time gets further on Wales are going to fatigue more, especially in this heat. They are not in their season.
The Americans have so may subs to choose from. It is scary to think just how good that bench is with World Cup winners and Olympic Gold medallists.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Huge chance for the USA!
Emily Fox does well on the right for the hosts and fires in a low cross, then Alyssa Thompson darts towards the near post but blazes over from close range.
'Tempers are heightened'
USA 0-0 Wales
Helen Ward
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
Tempers are getting heightened but Wales are handling everything that is coming their way.
They just need to maintain that concentration level.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
New Manchester United signing Gemma Evans covers tidily for Wales at the back.
She and her fellow centre-back Hayley Ladd have been excellent for Wales today.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Good pressing from Wales, who harrass the USA defenders and block an attempted clearance near the corner flag.
Wales are doing a fine job of frustrating their opponents.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Horan's getting a bit riled here, shoving Wales captian Angharad James after the USA are awarded another free-kick.
Are Wales getting under the skin of their illustrious opponents?
YELLOW CARD
USA 0-0 Wales
It might be a friendly but Josie Green is not getting away with that.
Wales lose possession in midfield, the USA look to break through captain Lindsey Horan but she is rugby-tackled to the ground by Green.
Yellow card.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
USA's first corner of the second half is cleared to the edge of the penalty area, where Crystal Dunn lets fly with a half-volley which balloons over the bar and into the stand behind the goal.
'Going long is part of the Wales game plan'
USA 0-0 Wales
Gwennan Harries
Former Wales striker on BBC One Wales
When Wales have possession on the backline there is never the option to play to midfield.
It is obviously part of the game plan to go long.
Post update
USA 0-0 Wales
Trinity Rodman gets an early first touch in a promising position but her low cross from the left is cleared by Wales.
