Wales Women’s football team faced a tough challenge in their latest friendly match, resulting in a 5-2 loss to a strong Polish side at Rodney Parade. It was a match filled with drama, but unfortunately, it extended Wales’ winless streak to 11 games.
The excitement began early with Elise Hughes putting Wales ahead in the 5th minute, after capitalising on a blocked shot. However, Poland’s Nadia Krezyman soon responded, delivering a slick finish from a well-executed short-corner, followed by Milena Kokosz’s breathtaking long-range goal that put Poland in the lead by halftime.
After the break, it was a whirlwind three-minute spell that saw Krezyman extend the lead. Wales retaliated quickly through Carrie Jones, but Poland’s Paulina Tomasiak scored again, followed by a stunning solo effort from Klaudia Jedlinska to round off the tally.
Despite making nine changes after their recent 2-1 defeat to Australia, the Welsh side couldn’t turn the tide in their favour. Ceri Holland came close with a header against the bar, but defensive errors proved costly, gifting Poland two more goals.
It’s been a challenging spell for Wales, whose last triumph was against the Republic of Ireland back in December during their Euro 2025 play-off. But with each match comes another opportunity to learn and grow, and fans will be eagerly awaiting to see how Rhian Wilkinson’s squad will bounce back. Keep cheering for our team, and here’s hoping for better results in the matches to come! 🌟⚽#WalesWomen #FootballJourney
