Wales had suffered a difficult start to the game – including losing teenager Mayzee Davies to a worrying injury with the defender leaving the stadium on crutches – but Fishlock added: “We started to settle, started to play and scored a goal – it needs to be better. At this level we need the technology and everything to ensure it’s fair.”
Several Football Association of Wales officials at the ground were puzzled why a League A game was not employing what has become increasingly standard assistance for match officials. Uefa have been asked to comment.
And Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson also questioned why the technology wasn’t in use having been led to believe otherwise by the fourth official.
“Maybe I didn’t understand, maybe she didn’t,” Wilkinson said. “But I’m frustrated, it’s lessons for us but, equally, for a competition of this stature this shouldn’t be happening.
“My team worked hard and put everything on the line; you get a goal, you want your goal.”
