    Brilliant patience in possession by Wales from start to finish.

    A very cool finish from Kayleigh Barton, but the release from Jess Fishlock just shows how important she is to this Wales side.

  2. HALF-TIME: Kosovo 0-2 Walespublished at 13:49 British Summer Time 9 April

    A very comfortable first half for Wales, who are in control of this match and on course for a second win from their opening two games of this Euro 2025 qualifying campaign.

    Jess Fishlock got herself in that pocket brilliantly, a fantastic pass to set Kayleigh Barton on her way.

    A great time to score. Rhian Wilkinson will be pleased with the ending to the first half.

    Kayleigh Barton

    This is a very nicely crafted goal by Wales.

    Jess Fishlock looks up and threads a perfectly weighted through ball for Kayleigh Barton, who finishes calmly into the bottom corner.

    That's assist number two for Fishlock, captain for the day as she makes her 150th appearance for Wales.

    Great work from Kayleigh Barton, who drives into the Kosovo penalty area from the left - but her low cross for Ceri Holland is blocked.

    It would take an awful lot for Ceri Holland to come off.

    I thought she was fantastic against Croatia. She injects so much pace for Wales going forward.

    Kosovo 0-1 Wales

    There's a break in play as Ceri Holland receives some treatment.

    Both sets of players take the opportunity to have a drink in the searing heat.

    Holland walks off to be assessed by Wales' medical staff but comes back on swiftly afterwards and is fine to continue.

    You can see the relief on the faces of the Wales players.

    It was a great run from midfield by Rachel Rowe.

    She can't half strike a ball. Great goal.

    Wales' fans out in Kosovo are chanting Rachel Rowe's name to the tune of Daddy Cool. Which is nice.

    Great finish from Rachel Rowe, calmly slotting it past the keeper.

    That was a great finish, but I must give Jess Fishlock credit, that was an outstanding touch to get that space and pick out Rachel Rowe.

    Rachel Rowe

    Breakthrough for Wales!

    Jess Fishlock takes a fine touch just outside the penalty area and lays the ball off to Rachel Rowe, who drills a powerful low drive beyond Alma Demiri and into the net.

    Wales get the goal their early control has deserved.

    Kosovo 0-0 Wales

    Ceri Holland gets into the Kosovo penalty area and whips in a cross from the left but it's well held by opposition keeper Alma Demiri, an 18-year-old who's started well here.

    Credit to Kosovo, they haven't dropped too deep in the first 25 minutes and they're showing some real composure in possession.

    It's nice to see they're looking to play.

    Kosovo 0-0 Wales

    Wales' pressing is proving effective so far, as Rachel Rowe wins possession back deep in the Kosovan half.

    You get the sense Wales will look to pounce soon. It's all been very patient and controlled so far.

    Considering there must be no more than 30 Wales fans, they're making some good noise.

    The girls will need that in this heat.

    Kosovo 0-0 Wales

    Wales have a corner but it doesn't come to much despite Jess Fishlock, of all people, defying her short stature to win a header at the back post.

    Kosovo 0-0 Wales

    Rachel Rowe looks like she might be in on goal but is stopped by an excellent recovery tackle by Rrezona Ramadani.

    Wales are seeing a lot of the ball but haven't created much in the way of clear-cut chances yet.

    It'll be an interesting day for Kayleigh Barton. She's been a brilliant servant for Wales and she'll be very keen to make an impression on the manager today.

    There's quality in this squad and she'll want to show why she deserves that number nine shirt.

    Kosovo 0-0 Wales

    Kayleigh Barton is a really industrious forward and, even in this heat, she's full of running and harrassing Kosovo's defenders.

    Wales are picking their moments to press but they're certainly looking to put their opponents under pressure.
