Ireland women hit back for first win

Portugal 1 Republic Of Ireland 2: The Republic of Ireland women’s team got their first win of the Euro 2017 qualifying campaign yesterday when they came from behind to beat Portugal in Moreira de Conegos.

First-half goals from Louise Quinn and Áine O’Gorman turned the tide after Portugal had opened the scoring against the run of play.

Ireland manager Sue Ronan made two changes to the side which lost to Finland last month with Ruesha Littlejohn and Karen Duggan coming in to replace Meabh De Burca and Diane Caldwell.
