Uchenna Kanu read the flight of the ball perfectly to apply a downward header, only for Courtney Brosnan to stoop low — Gordon Banks style — and turn the ball onto the crossbar. Stalemate then for Ireland on a frustrating night when their aim of completing the trip Down Under on a high went awry. Speculation of tension between Vera Pauw and her players was only fuelled by a clear plea from her captain Katie McCabe to freshen things up. Pauw is now officially out of contract and ever increasingly likely to lose her job when the FAI get around to that post-tournament review they place so much store in. They enjoyed their share of the half-chances in a scrappy game played before a half-full Laing Park but were unable to profit from the shakiness of Chamaka Nnadozie in goal for the Africans. As opposed to the throw-in from which they conceded the Canada winner on Wednesday, Ireland almost pocketed a goal from similar means on five minutes. Heather Payne, passed fit again but able to survive the warm-up this time, crossed for Sinead Farrelly to lay the ball into the path of the marauding McCabe. A free-flowing Ireland captain is a menace to any defence but her trademark left boot arrowed her yarder marginally off-target.

Super Falcons secured their last place with draw in Brisbane as Ireland earned their first ever World Cup point and clean sheet. Ireland have been sloppy the last five minutes. Plumptre, born in Leicester but with a Nigerian grandfather, wins a corner for the African side, but Brosnan punches the ball away and Payne is not able to get her shot on target. Raso got it, and that gives the hosts a crucial cushion. McCabe floats a ball to the back post where Quinn is waiting.
