      1. 90'

        Full time! A disappointing result for the Welsh side. But a fantastic performance to take into next week.

      2. 89'

        Izzy Caunt has replaced Elena Cole for the closing stages of this match. A fine shift from the under 21 international this afternoon.

      3. 86'

        Five minutes to go plus added time now. The game is over, it is a frustrating result for the home side.

        But Oxfoed lift themselves into third with this win today, and they can have the Welsh Phoebie Poole to thank.

      4. 80'

        The hattrick hero has just gone for a fourth in spectacular style. Her bicycle kick flies over the bar.

        On the other end Manon Pearce has an effort that just misses the target.

      5. It’s a dangerous ball into the area that Poole gets on the end of. She knocks it towards goal. It comes off the post and then off O’Sullivan-Jones, and then in. Poole will claim a hattrick, but it may well be an own goal.

        Unfortunate for Gwalia, who really have been excellent this afternoon. Poole has been the difference-maker

      6. Goal!

        77'

        Phoebie Poole

      7. It’s a fantastic goal from Poole to double her tally and her side’s lead. She battles off her defender on the edge of the area and fires a belter into the top right corner.

        Elsewhere, Asker and Piggott have been replaced by the returning Casi Gregson and the debutant Callie Jones.

      8. Goal!

        68'

        Phoebie Poole

      9. 64'

        Poole has a chance to double Oxford’s lead with a header. But she can’t convert.

        Kylie Nolan gets a chance down the other end and her attempt is well saved.

        End to end stuff.

      10. 60'

        Howard miskicks and the ball goes straight to O’Keefe.

        With the goalkeeper of her line, acres off spaces and a lot of options, O’Keefe took a heavy touch and the chance was gone.

      11. 57'

        Tia Asker battles through a few Oxford defenders and tries one from long range. She strikes it ferociously but Beth Howard makes the catch.

      12. 55'

        Chance! Fantastic ball into the area met by the goal scorer Phoebie Poole who can’t direct the ball goalward from close range.

      13. Substitution

        53'

        Bonnie Gready replaces Ruby Scahill

      14. 50'

        CHANCE!

        Oxford break forward and so does the full back Lucy Trindor. She finds herself on the ball in the area with a chance to shoot. Her outside of the boot effort narrowly goes wide.

      15. 48'

        The pattern has resumed in this second half. Gwalia United are dominating the midfield. Oxford’s outlet seems to be a long ball.

      16. 46'

        Second half gets underway.

      17. Half Time! Oxford have a narrow lead. But Gwalia United might have been the ones leading following three superb opportunities.

      18. 45'

        Sanford gets up the field again, this time winning a free kick in the fashion of a number nine.

        Cole swings it in and Asker meets it with a wayward header.

      19. 44'

        Ellie-Mai Sanford gets up the field. She attempts a cross from the wing that almost inadvertently finds the net.

      20. 40'

        Five minutes left of the half. Gwalia can be very pleased so far despite the score line,

      21. 32'

        OFF THE LINE!

        Corner taken short, and Elena Cole gets it back. She drives into the area and plays it to the back post where Chloe Lloyd heads it. A visiting defender just clears it off the line and somehow Oxford still lead.

      22. 30'

        Penalty?

        Ruby Scahill finds loads of space on the right and tries to slide in Nolan.

        Nolan, coming across the Oxford defense, was tripped off the ball.

        The referee said no foul.

      23. 26'

        Tia Asker floats over to the right wing to pick the ball up. She links up well with Scahill before cutting inside and having a go. Beth Howard makes the save.

      24. 23'

        The game has cooled down since that Nolan chance. But it’s been a brilliant game.

      25. 18'

        Pearce pulled back in dangerous area. Good free kick opportunity here.

        Chloe Lloyd goes for goal, but it goes over the bar.

      26. 14'

        Zoe Barratt plays a long one-two and, after receiving the ball back, she spun on the edge of the box and got a shot away. O’Sullivan Jones catches the effort.

      27. 12'

        WHAT A CHANCE!

        Manon Pearce wins the ball on the edge of the Oxford area. She looks up and quickly finds Kylie Nolan who takes on a shot in the center if the box. It goes just over. Agonizing for the hosts.

      28. Gwalia’s formidable shape has been undone by a fantastic ball from the Oxford center back. Laura O’Sullivan Jones saves the first one on one but the Welsh Phoebie Poole was there to tap it home.

      29. Goal!

        8'

        Phoebie Poole

      30. 5'

        CHANCE.

        The ball springs over the Oxford defense and drops to Kylie Nolan.

        The striker pulls it down and looks to lob the keeper, but the ball doesn’t drop in time.

      31. 3'

        A peculiar formation off the ball for Gwalia. But in the early stages, it’s working.

        Oxford are struggling to get possession.

      32. 1'

        Kick Off!

      33. The teams are out. Kick off is moments away.
