Julie-Ann Russell scored her second goal of the week, having previously assisted Denise O’Sullivan, as Ireland secured a 3-1 victory at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Cork’s own O’Sullivan opened the scoring with a long-range effort that caught the French goalkeeper off guard. Anna Patten added Ireland’s third goal in the final minute of regular time.
With our 3-1 win over France tonight, it ensures that we have a seeded spot for both @WEURO2025 playoff rounds in October and November! 💪
