McCabe did muster a chance from open play with 13 minutes left. Her shimmy left one Dutch defender out of the equation but the follow-up shot didn’t mirror that class, veering wildly off-target. Vivianne Miedema squandered the best of them as the half mark loomed, left free inside after Ireland were sliced open down their left side. NETHERLANDS: L Kop; L Wilms, D Janssen, V Buurman, M Olislagers; D Egurrola, W Kaptein; J Roord, V Miedema, L Beerensteyn; R Leuchter. IRELAND: C Brosnan; A Patten, C Hayes, C Mustaki, A Mannion, M Connolly, M Sheva, K McCabe; L Quinn, E Murphy; K Carusa.
