Wales’s women have got their first win of the annual Algarve Cup thanks to a 1-0 triumph over Mexico this evening.
Jess Fishlock’s strike from outside the penalty area after just 12 minutes proved to be enough as Wales put an opening-day 2-0 defeat to hosts Portugal behind them.
Groups A and B are reserved for the top teams, which include the likes of Germany, Japan and the USA, currently the world’s top three ranked teams.
The teams in Group C – which also includes Hungary – battle it out for seventh to 12th places. Wales won Group C in last year’s Algarve Cup.
This evening’s win was an excellent scalp for Wales, who are ranked 39th. Mexico are 15 places ahead of them in 24th.
