Ireland Keep World Cup Dream Alive Ahead Of France Clash

The Republic of Ireland Women's claimed an impressive 3-2 victory over the Netherlands in Cork.

The Republic of Ireland Women's team kept their World Cup qualification hopes alive with a memorable 3-2 victory over the Netherlands in Cork last night (June 5th).

The result means Carla Ward's side still have a chance of securing automatic qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup when they face group leaders France in their final qualifier on Tuesday (June 9th).

Ireland came from behind to claim a dramatic win, with Amber Barrett once again proving the hero by scoring a late winner.

The victory also guarantees the Girls in Green a seeded place in the World Cup play-offs should they fail to top the group.

Ireland will be boosted by the return of key players Denise O'Sullivan and Emily Murphy for the trip to France after both missed the Netherlands game through suspension.

A win in Grenoble would complete a remarkable qualification campaign for the Irish side and could see them book their place at next summer's World Cup in Brazil.
