    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 Walespublished at 76 mins

    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.

    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.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 71 mins

    USA 0-0 Wales

    Two changes for Wales.

    Megan Wynne is on for Carrie Jones, while Ffion Morgan replaces Kayleigh Green.

    Fantastic clearance from Kayleigh Green.

    That is certainly the closest USA have come in this second half and probably the whole game.

    Off the line!

    Superb defending from Wales striker Kayleigh Green as she blocks on the line to deny the USA the opening goal.

    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?

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    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.

    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.

    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 getting heightened but Wales are handling everything that is coming their way.

    They just need to maintain that concentration level.

    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.

    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.

    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?

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    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.

    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.

    Trinity Rodman gets an early first touch in a promising position but her low cross from the left is cleared by Wales.
