Wales beat Northern Ireland convincingly in Cardiff in a dominant display by the Red Dragons, which saw Hannah Cain bag her first goal for Wales. Jess Fishlock put the hosts in front inside the first 20 minutes of the game, after smashing home a brilliant cross from Rachel Rowe. Gemma Grainger's side doubled their lead mid-way through the first half. A brilliant ball from Chelsea midfielder Sophie Ingle found Fishlock at the back post, who unselfishly picked out Angharad James to tap home into an empty net. It was three for the hosts after 30 minutes when Cain got her first Wales goal. A good cutback by Rhiannon Roberts found the Leicester City striker, who fired home to give Wales a 3-0 lead before the break.

Northern Ireland responded well in the opening stages of the second half but it was Wales who extended their advantage. Rachel Rowe got a goal to add to her assist. A ball in by Ceri Holland was not dealt with, and it went all the way through to Rowe who fired home for their fourth. The visitors got a goal for their efforts. A mistake by Rhiannon Roberts meant Lauren Wade could latch on and fire into the back of the net from a tight angle.
