Read our privacy policy Wales and the Republic of Ireland drew the first leg of their Euro 2025 play-off final as Olivia Clark’s unfortunate own goal prevented the Dragons from taking a lead to Dublin. Lily Woodham – who had scored in Wales’ 2-0 friendly victory in Dublin nine months ago – opened the scoring with a sweet strike after 20 minutes. Littlejohn headed Rhiannon Roberts’ effort clear from close to the goal-line and Jones wriggled free of Ireland defenders to force a useful save from Courtney Brosnan. It was Wales’ best spell of the contest and Littlejohn lost composure by flattening Rachel Rowe and then pushing Fishlock over to receive a yellow card.
