Wrexham's debut European campaign in the Women's Champions League has come to an end after a 4-1 defeat to Latvian champions Riga FC in the second qualifying round.

The Adran Premier champions had led 1-0 until the 50th minute after Lili Jones scored her second European goal to give them an early lead at the Racecourse.

However, Latvian title holders Riga turned the match in their favour with quickfire goals from Minami Oi and Kumba Brima after the restart.

Laura Kallase and Shiori Kato added further goals as the dominant Latvian champions ensured progression to the second round.

The result marked a disappointing end to Wrexham's European adventure, which began with a 4-2 win over Armenian champions FC Pyunik on Wednesday.

Wrexham's manager will now focus on rebuilding the squad and preparing for the new season in the Adran Premier.

Why this matters: The defeat serves as a setback for Wrexham's women's team, who were looking to make a lasting impression in European competition.

What this means for you: If you're a fan of Wrexham or women's football, this result may be disappointing. The team's European campaign may have ended, but their domestic performance in the Adran Premier will continue to be closely watched.
