The final whistle on Wales women’s 0-0 draw with Germany had long cut through the cold night air.

Despite the plummeting temperatures, the home team were still lining the Swansea.com Stadium touchline some 20 minutes later.

Most were still in their playing kit, happily braving the weather rather than seeking the shelter of the changing rooms.

Hundreds of excited young fans had spilled down from the stadium’s packed East Stand to the advertising hoardings at the edge of the pitch.

They were eager to meet their heroines, who had just recorded one of the best results in the national team’s history against the former world champions.
