Wales put in a great performance against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin, winning a surprise 2-0.
Wales took a 2-0 lead thanks to first-half goals from Seattle Reign's Jess Fishlock and Lily Woodham.
Under the watchful eye of new manager Rhian Wilkinson, Wales impressed with their attacking, high-tempo play under caretaker manager Jon Gray.
The Republic of Ireland did not concede a goal as Olivia Clarke made a great save to stop Amber Barrett's powerful shot.
