It’s all over in Leuven and Abbie Larkin’s goal on the stroke of 90 minutes has ensured Ireland’s place in Uefa Nations League A. Furthermore, a potentially advantageous path in the upcoming World Cup qualifier draw.
Carla Ward’s side had to dig deep as Tessa Wullaert’s first-half brace levelled things up on aggregate. In the end, the Girls in Green battered the door down and it eventually paid off when Larkin chipped in at the near post. Magical!
The 2-1 defeat on the night means nothing – what’s important is the 5-4 triumph over the two-legged tie! Ireland advance.
