    Rhiannon Roberts did the best she could but there's two or three players around her.

    Someone needs to offer her a pass, she's totally isolated.

    Rhiannon Roberts is really pushing forward from full-back to drive Wales upfield but that killer final ball is just not happening for Wales at the moment.

    Wales win a corner thanks to Ceri Holland winning the ball on halfway and driving forward. There's a half-chance as the ball goes loose in the area but it won't fall to a Welsh foot and Denmark clear.

    Sofie Svava darts away and sends another cross in from the left, but Wales stopper Olivia Clark is well positioned to pluck the ball out of the air.

    Ffion Morgan will add that pace in behind for Wales and add a new dimension.

    There's still plenty of time to get back in the game, trying to push up and showing more desire.

    Ffion Morgan has certainly injected some energy into Wales, buzzing around up front trying to hurry the Danish backline into a mistake.

    Kayleigh Green is playing like a woman on a mission with a point to prove off the bench.

    Kayleigh Green doing what she does, showing a change of pace, but again the final pass letting Wales down.

    You have to ensure accuracy, that move ended with the ball at the feet of a white shirt.

    Kayleigh Green charges down the left after rolling a defender before finding Jess Fishlock in the centre. The ball is shipped on to Ceri Holland but the then the decision-making is poor as her cut-back goes to a Danish player.

    There's some intense conversations going on between Gemma Grainger and her staff on the touchline, trying to plot their next move to change the momentum that has swung firmly back towards the Danes.

    Big thumbs up from Jess Fishlock as a deep pass just goes beyond her - likes the intent if not the result.

    It's unfortunate that Ceri Holland hasn't stopped that cross coming in.

    That has to be the priority. You can not let the ball come in from there.

    Wales just need to be better. They've prided themselves on defensive foundations for many years.

    Unfortunately, it just hasn't been good enough this evening.

    Frederikke Thogersen

    Just as Wales had got back into the game they're undone again by a cross.

    Sofie Svava sends it in from the left, and Frederikke Thogersen finds the space on the back stick that has been there all night to restore Denmark's two-goal cushion.

    I was worried that the score would keep on increasing from a Denmark perspective, but Wales have got back into a defensive shape and they look confident in their shape.

    I'm just disappointed Wales left themselves so open for the first 20 minutes.

    Pernille Harder is always lurking on the shoulder of the last Wales defender but the Danish skipper is caught offside as those red shirts step up in unison.
