Wales beat Kosovo 2-0 in Llanelli to top their UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Qualifying group and go back up to League A.

Jess Fishlock took just eight minutes of the game to overtake Helen Ward as Wales’ all-time top scorer on 45 goals, Carrie Jones setting up this particular opportunity.

Inside the first half-hour, Fishlock was denied a second of the night by the post, although Mary McAteer was on hand to turn in the rebound as she opened her account for Wales.

The play-offs draw is on Friday, when Wales will discover who stands in their way of a place at EURO 2025.
