A stunning volley from Rachel Rowe earned Wales a draw against World Cup bound Portugal in Guimaraes.
Telma Encarnacao’s goal looked to be the winner for Portugal, as she struck low into the far corner on 50 minutes.
But Wales levelled as Reading’s Rowe volleyed a clearance from a corner in off the far post to make it 1-1.
Wales captain Sophie Ingle was shown a second yellow card in injury time for a poor tackle on Fatima Pinto, but Gemma Grainger’s side held on for the draw.
