Match Report
WNT Report: Scotland 0-1 Republic of Ireland
Dreams do come true as the Republic of Ireland WNT have secured automatic qualification with a 1-0 win over Scotland at Hampden Park.
Amber Barrett the hero on the night and she finished well after coming off the bench in the second half.
Ireland started positive but were brought down to earth as Martha Thomas rattled the bar, play was brought back as Niamh Fahey had handled the ball on the way to goal, Caroline Weir stepped up but Courtney Brosnan was down quick to save.
Megan Campbell had the ball in the net after 28 minutes,her long range throw in finding its way into the back of the net, ruled out as no player got a touch on its flightpath into the net.
Aine O’Gorman had the next big chance after 36 minutes, her header at the back post was too high, Scotland breathing a sigh of relief after that chance.
In first half injury time, Ireland bombarded the Scottish goal from a Campbell throw in, Sophie Howard made two goal line clearances, with Lee Gibson producing a stunning save to leave it 0-0 at the interval.
Scotland started the second half brighter, Fiona Brown and Weir with some half chances that worried the Irish defence.
Then came the breakthrough, on a sad last few days for the county, the Donegal native Amber Barrett raced clear after a great through ball by Denise O’Sullivan, she raced in and finished well for the lead after 72 minutes.
Erin Cuthbert had a chance minutes later but the heroics of Brosnan on show again, while Diane Caldwell cleared the danger as we entered the final ten minutes.
Ireland dug deep to hang on for a huge win, emotion at the final whistle with the World Cup beckoning.
