Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson confirmed ahead of kick-off that Jess Fishlock will be substituted at some point during the second half so “we can appreciate her appropriately”.
“Jess happens to be one of the proudest Welsh sportspeople you’ll ever meet, but she would have been great whatever country she came from,” said Wilkinson.
“She’s a fantastic leader and a fantastic athlete. She’s been an amazing ambassador for Wales and she will continue to be.
“I have no doubt that that will not end just because she stops playing for Wales.”
