Wales Women edged past Albania in World Cup Qualifying League B Group 1 with a goal from Rhiannon Roberts.

Wales went one up in the first half when Lily Woodham’s cross bypassed goalkeeper Rajmonda Spahiu, allowing Roberts to bundle the ball over the line.

Sophie Ingle had a goal ruled out for offside, while Ilaria Zara hit the crossbar after the break as the hosts went close to a leveller.

The victory moved Wales onto 10 points from four games but still leaves them short of Czechia on goal difference.
