Ireland's women frustrated by classy Spanish side

Ireland 0

In what was already a daunting task, gifting Spain their opening goal yesterday at Tallaght Stadium triggered the start of Ireland’s downfall in this European Championship qualifier.

That concession on the half hour to the group’s top seeds was swiftly followed by a second goal a minute before the break, rendering the second half an exhibition of keep-ball by the classy Spaniards. They crowned victory with a third goal in stoppage-time.
