OOOOFFF! 👀

Hampton complains about McCabe. Ref tells her to get on with it.

McCabe charges down the clearance and then shoots goalwards but the England goalie recovered.

Campbell's first contribution is one of those ridiculously long throws of her.

It is headed down in the box and Carter is there to clear the second ball.

If I were Gleeson, I would push McCabe up the field now. I know it's 'early' but England are very comfortable. They need her attacking threat.

BROSNAN 👏

Ireland try to play it out from the back which is not the best idea.

England win it and Mead nods down the cross to Kirby. Brosnan with a top point-blank save

Walsh defends off Lucy Quinn for a corner.

There's a scramble in the box. Ireland want handball but the ref waves calls away.

Hampton's distribution has been poor for England this evening.

This time she passes it straight out to Kiernan. England clear it for a throw.

Ireland have a corner down the right.

McCabe sends it in and Hayes makes the run at the far post but heads it straight at Hampton.

How did Ireland not score?!

McCabe picks out the run of Louise Quinn who broke free from the pack.

She squares it across goal and somehow England put it behind for a corner with Kiernan lurking.

Will want to watch that one back to fully analyse but my gut says that England changed things to early and Ireland too late.

Too much disruption for England in the midfield area led to their late struggles.

Ireland being outmuscled in the middle of the park at the moment. Problem when they try to bypass it - like McCabe did just there - there are a lack of runners going forward.

Disaster for Ireland.... needed to keep it tight after conceding but within 7 minutes concede again. Need to gather themselves here.
