Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Canada and Ireland has kicked off!
  • 4' Ireland is taking the lead after the goal scored by Katie McCabe on 4.
  • 9' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 9 minutes.
  • 14' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Canada winning 100% of all matches.
  • 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Denise O'Sullivan made 3 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 24' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 29' It looks like no one’s ball. Canada is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 34' Canada started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
  • 36' Kadeisha Buchanan is having his name booked by the referee on 36.
  • 41' It looks surprising Canada does not make any changes. Quinn has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' GOAL! Megan Connolly scores on 45.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Canada. Kadeisha Buchanan is replaced by Shelina Zadorsky.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 53' What a strike from Adriana Leon! The score is 1-2.
  • 58' Marissa Sheva has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aine O'Gorman on 58 minute.
  • 59' The Canada manager makes a substitution. Adriana Leon departs to be replaced by Cloe Zoe Eyja Lacasse.
  • 61' A meaty challenge results in booking for Vanessa Gilles on 61.
  • 65' The whistle greets Sinead Louise Farrelly as he departs to be replaced by Isibeal Atkinson.
  • 70' Canada looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Adriana Leon scoring 1 goals.
  • 75' 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 Kadeisha Buchanan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Vanessa Gilles, as he is very good at scoring at HBF Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 85' Lucy Jane Quinn has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ireland that had 3 games and scored 2 goals.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Canada players.
