    'The Red Wall of Cymru' is blasting out in the stadium now.

    One of those 100 Wales fans my colleague Michael was talking about earlier has clearly taken command of the DJing duties.

    Odds on Yma o Hyd next?

    It's really difficult when you are under pressure because you are so focused on defending.

    But when we win the ball, we have to try to keep it. Otherwise that pressure is just going to keep coming back to you.

    Look at the build-up play (for Wales's goal), there's some great interchange there.

    Ceri Holland... the one thing we've challenged this team on is to put your chances away.

    Well done Ceri, we've managed to do it today.

    It's been a hard half for Wales. Wave after wave of attacks from Germany who have looked very comfortable in their style of play.

    It's not so nice watching Wales suffer, but they had the chance as Germany go to sleep for a spell.

    Wales have kept playing, Jess Fishlock, Angharad James and Sophie Ingle, three experienced players combine to set up Ceri Holland.

    I'm sure there's lots of defending to come but this will give Wales plenty of confidence.

  5. HALF-TIME - Germany 1-1 Walespublished at 17:35 British Summer Time 27 October 2023

    That is a brilliant scoreline for Wales.

    Germany may have totally dominated that half but Wales are level thanks to Ceri Holland's brilliantly-worked equaliser.

    If it stays this way, this would rank among the greatest results in Welsh women's football history.

    Wales are taking it to the corner in the first half. Superb!

    Ceri Holland plays it off a German defender for a corner.

    We're into added time. Of the first half.

    Fantastic bit of play from Jess Fishlock.

    Ceri Holland's in the right place at the right time.

    Who saw that coming?

    Ceri Holland is the first Wales player ever to score against Germany!

    No wonder Holland are Germany's football nemesis.

    GOAL - Germany 1-1 Walespublished at 42 mins

    Ceri Holland

    Where has that come from?!

    Jess Fishlock plays the ball out to the right, where Sophie Ingle sends in a cross which is deftly flicked on by Angharad James into the path of Ceri Holland, who volleys in.

    It's a beautifully crafted goal and completely against the run of play.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 41 mins

    Great save by Olivia Clark.

    Germany look set to double their lead as Laura Freigang is clean through on goal, but her low shot is superbly repelled by Clark using her feet.

    Wales try to break again but Kayleigh Green's pass for Hannah Cain is overhit and goes out for a throw.

    Wales look shattered anytime they get the ball, and no wonder given all the defending and chasing they've had to do in this half.

    The pattern is, we win the ball back then we either kick it out of play or we don't find that second pass.

    It just means Germany win the ball back and they're keeping up this high tempo.

    The latest German chance falls to Laura Freigang, who lets fly with a right-footed half-volley just inside the penalty area but it whistles over the bar.

    Germany 1-0 Wales

    Just a hint of an opening for Wales, who look to catch Germany on the break.

    Jess Fishlock plays a nice pass on the halfway line to Kayleigh Green, who then tries to find Hannah Cain with a through ball, but it's intercepted.

    A glimmer of hope for Gemma Grainger's side.

    We've got some world class players in this squad, it's just about taking care of the ball when we have it, because, at the moment, that's just not happening.

    Germany have another corner, which Sara Diabritz sends to the back post, where Marina Hegering heads wide.

    Wales will have done well to keep Germany down to one goal by half-time.

    I wonder how Ann-Katrin Berger is passing the time in Germany's goal.

    She's barely had a touch of the ball, never mind needing to make a save.

    Germany can relax a bit now.

    They've scored the first goal and they'll just carry on doing the right things.

    Wales need to keep their shape, and we've had a good shape, but the problem is, the fitness levels of Germany have allowed them to go past us quite easily.
