The gulf in class was again clear for all to see in searing heat in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lynn Biyendolo broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, and Izzy Rodriguez doubled the world number one’s lead just before half time.

Both sides were understrength; Katie McCabe, Denise O’Sullivan, Aoife Mannion and Megan Campbell among the players Ireland were without. While the US squad was full of rising domestic talent in-season, the majority of the Irish squad have been out of action. Friday’s game was played at altitude in Denver. More to follow.
