P227 AERTEL 1 227 Wed 23 Feb 08:41:56 RTE 2/7 Wales 0-1 Republic of Ireland 22 Feb 2022 18:05 Inside the opening five minutes, Kyra Carusa was presented with a fantastic opportunity to break the deadlock when tipping the ball past Wales goalkeeper Olivia Clark but her shot from an angle hit the side netting. Carusa would go close again, this time with a header when meeting a corner kick, while Wales star Jess Fishlock saw an effort from distance blocked by Niamh Fahey. On 25 minutes, O'Sullivan was quickest to react to a loose ball on the edge of the area and she smashed in a superb strike to record her 17th senior goal. SPORT HEADLINES P200 Next Soccer Rugby Sport
P227 AERTEL 1 227 Wed 23 Feb 08:42:14 RTE 3/7 Wales 0-1 Republic of Ireland 22 Feb 2022 18:05 Niamh Fahey should have made it 2-0 just before the interval when she found herself unmarked at a corner kick but the Centurion headed over the bar. Teenager Abbie Larkin replaced Carusa at the start of the second period and it was more of the same from Ireland as they rolled out their controlled game- plan - working on both sides of the ball. Wales tried their luck from distance on 55 minutes when captain Sophie Ingle unloaded a shot but it clipped the crossbar and went over, not troubling goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan.
