Michael Pearlman Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Mared Griffiths and Elise Hughes replace Hannah Cain and Rachel Rowe. For the hosts, Andrea
Staskova replaces Michaela
Khyrova. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Kath Morgan Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Cymru It's just that last pass of the attack that has let Wales down all evening, we have to do better and correct this going forward. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Looks like Wales are about to send on not one, but two, strikers. Elise Hughes and Mared Griffiths are being prepared. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Kath Morgan Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Cymru Wales are passing side to side instead of passing forwards and it is not working at the moment. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Helen Ward Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales It's all too easy for the Czech Republic when they are attacking at the moment, lots of players are getting dragged out of position and luckily for Wales they are not taking their chances. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Gareth Vincent BBC Sport Wales at City Stadium, Uherske Hradiste Wales look capable of causing the Czech Republic problems whenever they have a spell in possession, but the primary issue for Rhian Wilkinson's side so far this evening has been defending set-pieces. Wales have wriggled off the hook on a couple of occasions but have also been punished twice. As a result, they are under pressure to find a response. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Ceri Holland manages to squeeze in a cross from the byline, but Hannah Cain can't beat the goalkeeper to the ball. Nice passing from Wales to create the space. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Jana Zufankova slices her shot wide after more clever build-up play. The hosts threatening a third. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Michaela
Khyrova rolls Rhiannon Roberts and goes clear, but Hayley Ladd is across to cover her teammate Roberts and clears the danger. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Helen Ward Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales Really disappointing to concede again from a set piece, and I hate repeating myself but the players have got to regroup. They need to start doing what they did in the first half and put the pressure on this Czech Republic team. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Wales push forward but Hannah Cain can't control Carrie Jones' smart pass. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Kath Morgan Former Wales captain on BBC Radio Cymru You have to question why Wales gave away that free kick in the first place there was no need to concede it. Wales once again fail to clear their lines and there's no one on the back post to clear it for Wales. The same story again, too many Welsh players not doing their jobs defensively and once again we are behind. Czech Republic 2-1 Wales That was really sensational from Eva
Bartonova. Not many defenders can control a ball like that and dig-out such an incredible cross. Wales have it all to do again. Jana Zufankova This video can not be played Czech Republic 2-1 Wales Brilliant touch and cross from Eva
Bartonova, that was Dennis Bergkamp stuff and it's a gift for Jana Zufankova to bundle home her 10th international goal. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales Lovely link-up play between Angharad James, Rachel Rowe and Ceri Holland wins Wales a corner. So much better. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales A little better from Wales. Keeping and winning the ball in better areas. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales Michaela
Khyrova looks to break clear, but Ceri Holland was alert to the danger and blocked. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales No changes from the hosts who are obviously happy enough with how they played in that first-half. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales We are back under way. Ceri Holland has moved to right wingback. Czech Republic 1-1 Wales Wales are introducing Carrie Jones. She will replace Ffion Morgan. A change of shape?
