Australia vs Ireland, Women World Cup 2023 GROUP STAGE
-
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Sydney Football Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Australia and Ireland.
- 5' Ellie Carpenter needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Ireland seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kyra Taylor Carusa suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Ireland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Australia that had 7 games and scored 10 goals.
- 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Australia winning 100% of all matches.
- 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Denise O'Sullivan on 42.
- 47' The travelling Ireland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 52' GOAL! Steph Catley scores on 52.
- 57' Australia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Steph Catley scoring 1 goals.
- 62' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Ireland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 63' Time for substitution for Ireland. Sinead Louise Farrelly is replaced by Abbie Larkin.
- 68' Ireland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 73' It looks surprising Ireland does not make any changes. Hayley Raso has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' The Australia manager makes a substitution. Cortnee Vine departs to be replaced by Emily Van Egmond.
- 80' Australia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 84' The whistle greets Mary Fowler as he departs to be replaced by Clare Polkinghorne.
- 87' Time for substitution for Ireland. Kyra Taylor Carusa is replaced by Isibeal Atkinson.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
