Wales won 1-0 away to Greece to move within a point of securing second place in their FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying group.
Ceri Holland had an effort pushed away by Zoe Nassi for a corner but the breakthrough came in the 34th minute, when Carrie Jones stabbed home from a Gemma Evans header, after her initial effort was blocked.
Laura O’Sullivan had to make a save from Eleni Markou straight after, to keep Wales in front at the break.
Carrie Jones was unable to beat the keeper with a free header but it was her run that set up Angharad James for a 20-yard strike, which Nassi also saved.
Group winners France ran out 9-0 victors in Estonia with Ouleymata Sarr scoring four times, while Wales’ rivals for the runners-up spot – Slovenia – beat Kazakhstan 2-0.
Wales host Slovenia on Tuesday, backed by a likely 10,000 crowd inside Cardiff City Stadium, requiring just a draw to reach the play-offs for the first time.
