Ouch. Wales' Hayley Ladd is on the floor with a bloody nose.

The game is stopped while Ladd gets some treatment but she looks like she'll be fine to continue.

Another chance for Norway and another chance for Elise Thorsnes.

She dribbles into the Welsh penalty area and shoots low towards the far corner but it's held by Laura O'Sullivan.

That's a big chance for Norway.

Karina Saevik crosses from the right and Elise Thorsnes has a free header from six yards but it's straight at Wales keeper Laura O'Sullivan, who holds on to the ball.

Wales launch a free-kick into the Norwegian penalty area, which is cleared.

Following up, Rachel Rowe fires in a low cross which Norway keeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand holds.

Wales are happy to sit back and let Norway have the ball, they need to then choose to right time to push and put pressure on the ball.

After that flurry of early chances, the game settles into a more familiar pattern with Norway starting to control possession again.

An encouraging start from Wales, though. Compact and competitive.

And less than a minute after that chance for Wales, Norway have one of their own.

Elise Thorsnes has the opportunity to shoot inside the Welsh box but fires well over the bar.

Jess Fishlock is one of the stars of world - never mind Welsh - football and she's just shown glimpse of her threat with a shot from the edge of the penalty area which goes just wide.

It's now absolutely pouring in Cardiff.

Welcome to Wales, Norway.

No surprise to see Norway dominate possession from the off.

They did the same against Wales in Oslo last month.

Jayne Ludlow and her players won't mind too much - they'll be content to defend deep and try catching their opponents on the break.

Even without a crowd, that looked like an emotional anthem for Wales' players - Jess Fishlock and Natasha Harding in particular seemed really fired up.

It's Norway who take kick-off.

A rousing anthem in an empty stadium remains a very weird experience.

Jayne Ludlow is happy with what she has seen from here side so far in this campaign.

"This has been a dream of mine for a very long time. My family are obviously buzzing as well."

For Lily Woodham, dreams turned to reality on Thursday when she scored her first international goal, in her first international appearance, with almost her first touch in Wales' 4-0 win over the Faroe Islands.

If you're in the UK and you fancy re-watching the best bits from Wales' win over the Faroes Islands, you are in luck.

Wales had a difficult time breaking down the Faroe Islands in Thursday's qualifier at Rodney Parade before clicking into gear.

Here is Thursday's report and reaction, in case you missed it.

Striker Helen Ward says Wales are determined not to endure another qualification party for a rival team.

You all remember how the last campaign ended, I'm not going to put you in a bad mood by explicitly reminding you here. This is a safe space.

You can read Ward's thoughts here. If she scores today, will she have scored a bigger goal in her Wales career?

Captain Sophie Ingle says Wales are determined to achieve something special.

Today could prove crucial to Wales' hopes of finishing top two in Group C.

As we have already mentioned, group leaders Norway will qualify for Euro 2021 (postponed until 2022 because of coronavirus) if they win in Cardiff today.

But it's that second-place spot which is well and truly up for grabs.

Belarus and Northern Ireland begin their double-header at 17:00 GMT today, before the reverse fixture next month.

After today, Wales will only have Belarus left to play, while Northern Ireland will finish their campaign against winless Faroe Islands.

Whoever finishes second will have a two-legged play-off against another group's runner up, the winner of which will also qualify for Euro 2021.
