Ireland's women's national football team is now just 90 minutes away from securing their spot at the upcoming European Championships after a 1-1 draw with Wales in Cardiff. The second leg at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin is expected to be a thrilling event with ticket sales already surpassing 23,000.
Ireland are 90 minutes away from a place at next summer’s European Championships after a cagey stalemate against Wales in Cardiff on Friday night.
But it’s advantage Ireland ahead of the second-leg and Gleeson knows there is better to come from her players. Gleeson started with a front-two of Julie-Ann Russell and Kyra Carusa and at times they linked up well together. Even when Russell showed good footwork inside the area in the 33rd minute to get past one defender, she was quickly crowded out before she could pull the trigger.
Spotting goalkeeper Clark a few yards off her line, the midfielder went for an ambitious long-range lob that bounced off the crossbar, struck Clark on the back of her head and went in. She opened up and attempted to find the far corner, but her effort lacked enough curl to bend inside the upright.
