Republic of Ireland keep pressure on in Nations League group with Greece win
@Source: breakingnews.ie
Republic of Ireland maintained the pressure on leaders Slovenia with a 2-1 Women’s Nations League win over Greece in Dublin.
The gap remains at three points after Carla Ward’s side responded to Slovenia’s victory over Turkey earlier in the day to stay in touch in League B Group 2.
Ireland had not lost to Greece in any of their eight previous meetings and Amber Barrett’s ninth-minute penalty – her eighth international goal – after Leanne Kiernan was brought down, set them on their way to extend that run.
Five minutes after half-time, Anna Patten headed home Megan Campbell’s corner to give them a cushion, which was needed as Veatriki Sarri pulled one back in the 72nd minute.
