    That's a wrap for today's coverage of a comprehensive win for Wales in Kosovo.

    That's now two wins from two in Euro 2025 qualifying, and two wins from two for new manager Rhian Wilkinson.

    And perhaps equally as impressive as the results has been the nature of the performances.

    Wales have been totally dominant against Croatia and Kosovo, scoring 10 goals and conceding none.

    Next up in their qualifying campaign is a home game against Ukraine in Llanelli on Friday, 31 May.

    That promises to be a tougher game - Ukraine are the second highest ranked team in this group behind Wales.

    We hope you can join us again for coverage of that one but, for now, Wales can revel in another excellent performance and result.

    Thanks for joining us today and enjoy the rest of your day.

    Wales goalscorer Ffion Morgan speaking to BBC Radio Wales Extra:

    "I'm buzzing, I looked twice to see if the flag had gone up for offside.

    "It's probably on my mother's Facebook already, it's a proud moment for me and my family.

    "It was on a plate for me, It was probably harder to miss. It just shows the work we're doing is coming out on the pitch, we created multiple opportunities today.

    "I hope with my pace and my ability to get forward that she (Rhian Wilkinson) likes that. She gives me the confidence to get at people, I constantly hear her on the sideline pushing me up the field. That confidence is very helpful.

    "Hopefully, I can keep this going and get some more opportunities."

    I wouldn't say there's a massive change in Wales, I think they're playing just a bit quicker.

    The restarts are quicker which is key, hopefully if Wales reach the play-offs we'll see a team full of momentum.

    Wales goalscorer Rachel Rowe speaking on BBC Radio Wales Extra:

    "I think we needed to find our feet. It's a small pitch and we had to adjust to a compact game.

    "I think we did especially in the second half, we had multiple attempts and it was a convincing win for us.

    "We have such a diverse group in experience, I think we've got leaders in this squad, it doesn't matter how many caps you've got, we all play our part."

    Collectively there was no messing around from Wales today. They got the job done and got it done well.

    I think Rhian Wilkinson will be very pleased with her first window as manger. Ten goals scored and none conceded, great start.

  8. FULL-TIME: Kosovo 0-6 Walespublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 9 April

    There goes the final whistle. Another dominant display from Wales.

    Two games into Rhian Wilkinson's reign and this Euro 2025 qualifying campaign, Wales have two wins having scored 10 goals and conceded none.

    A dream start.

    Outstanding, Ceri Holland is brilliant winning that header.

    Elise Hughes that is a very smart finish, the perfect afternoon for Wales.

    It keeps getting better for Wales!

    Jess Fishlock sends a long ball into the box, where Ceri Holland heads into the path of Elise Hughes and the substitute coolly volleys in for her second goal.

    Two minutes into injury time, Kosovo have their first shot of the game.

    But substitute Modesta Uka's effort goes wide.

    Into the final minute of normal time now.

    Wales would be forgiven for taking it easy but, with manager Rhian Wilkinson still urging them on loudly from the touchline, they keep pushing on.

    There will be at least four minutes added on.

    Easy finish for Elise Hughes. Five goals for Wales and it's well deserved.

    She'll be pleased with that. Every striker loves getting a goal.

    Elise Hughes

    Wales break down the right with Angharad James and the ball is switched to the opposite flank, where Ceri Holland hares into the Kosovo penalty area.

    Holland's cross is palmed away by Alma Demiri but only as far as Elise Hughes, who converts from close range.

    If I were to pick a player of the match it would have to be Sophie Ingle in the midfield.

    She manages to find that space in the centre of the park while keeping it simple. She's been influential today.

    Jess Fishlock has two assists already today and she fancies a goal to mark her 150th cap, but she drags a 20-yard shot wide.

    Great delivery in from Ffion Morgan, another chance has gone begging.

    We are really seeing what Ffion Morgan is capable of.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 77 mins

    Kosovo 0-4 Wales

    Another chance for Wales, this time for substitute Elise Hughes who heads over from Rhiannon Roberts' initial header.

    Meanwhile, Mayzee Davies is on for her Wales debut, replacing Josie Green.

    I think what's positive now, is that we're seeing Wales operate a lot more in the opposition penalty area.

    The decision making is becoming a lot better, we're getting far more attempts on target.

    Kosovo 0-4 Wales

    Big chance for Wales and Sophie Ingle, who volleys over from close range.

    It won't affect the result but the Chelsea midfielder will have expected to score there.
