Ireland were living on the edge there. Hancar and Miray Cin were instrumental as the ball fizzed across the Ireland penalty area. Hancar went down at the crucial moment and looked to the referee appealing for a penalty.

Connolly is the taker this time but it’s the same result as Stapleton’s header lacks the power to trouble the hosts. Ireland attack again as Larkin sends in a cross which is headed away and the rebound effort does little to trouble Türkiye keeper Selda Akgoz. 30 mins ago 19 mins: Türkiye 0-0 Republic of Ireland There’s a bit of pushing and shoving delaying things but McCabe eventually takes it and floats it in invitingly. Stapleton gets on the end of it but she can’t get enough power in her header. 31 mins ago 18 mins: Türkiye 0-0 Republic of Ireland Good pressing from Ireland as Türkiye try to work the ball around. But they eventually work the ball forward. A good delivery into the Ireland box tries to find Kader Hancar who has been lively since kick-off. But she is penalised for a push in the back and Ireland can breathe again. O’Sullivan wins a free at the other end and Ireland could work something from this. 34 mins ago 15 mins: Türkiye 0-0 Republic of Ireland Good defensive work from Mannion to deal with a dangerous attack. A risky pass to Stapleton is cut out and Türkiye pounce. They get a throw-in from a dangerous position but the attempted cross sails harmlessly over the Ireland goal. Lucky escape for Ireland.
