Wales found themselves trailing 2-0 – a score that if anything flattered Rhian Wilkinson’s side - to a nation ranked 22 places below them before substitute Morgan’s 89th-minute goal in Poprad.Wales meet Slovakia at the Cardiff City Stadium hoping that a home tie with a big crowd can see them overturn the deficit and progress to the final, likely to be against Republic of Ireland who hammered Georgia 6-0 in their play-off first leg.
Morgan said Wales’ players were frustrated with a performance that Wilkinson described as the “worst” in her time as Wales boss. “Slovakia were aggressive and we knew they were. Maybe we didn’t react to what they were doing and challenge them enough and compete at their level.
