Heartbreak for Ireland as Sweden score late winner in Euro qualifierPA Sport ReportersMagdalena Eriksson struck six minutes from time to earn Sweden a 1-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland who still remain without a point in Euro 2025 Qualifying. Sweden had chances to make their breakthrough in the first half courtesy of Fridolina Rolfo but earned their second win in four days over Ireland as Eriksson broke Irish hearts in Stockholm. The Republic have failed to score in group A3 so far and relegation back to League B is looming for Eileen Gleeson’s side. Sweden started to build pressure and had the first proper opening as Johanna Kaneryd’s dangerous cross found the head of Rolfo but she nodded narrowly over the bar. Sweden continued to dominate proceedings following the break but Ireland stood strong in defence, with Aoife Mannion’s attempted defensive clearance hitting Rolfo before Brosnan denied once again.

The footage ends with an ominous shot of Penelope turning around to face Colin as he looks stern.

However, the overarching issue is that it wasn’t the subject of a proper review and a fully informed decision. The whistle had not been blown until after McCarthy touched down, so a try decision was still available. At present the referee makes an on-field decision, try or no try.

Remember New Zealand’s disallowed try in the World Cup final, a decision which was beyond the declared limits.
