Just over ten minutes after Linari had given Italy the lead, the `Azzurre` doubled their advantage away to Wales. From a free-kick won by Oliviero on the right flank, playmaker Giugliano delivered a perfect ball into the centre of the area for Cristiana Girelli, who expertly headed it past goalkeeper Clark to make it 2-0.
This second goal, combined with results elsewhere (Denmark being three goals down against Sweden), significantly increases Italy`s chances of securing their place in League A of the Women`s Nations League.
