More Euro qualifier disappointment for Ireland as Sweden down Gleeson's side at Aviva

Emma Duffy Reports from Aviva Stadium. Republic of Ireland 0 Sweden 3 ANOTHER FRUSTRATING NIGHT for Ireland , a third defeat in this Euro 2025 qualifying ‘Group of Death’.

So the wait for the first points in this group – and their first goal in 2024 – continues, with the return trip to Stockholm on Tuesday. She stuck with Louise Quinn, Caitlin Hayes and Anna Patten as the three centre-halves; Katie McCabe started at left-wing back after her post-season trip to Australia; while Jess Ziu got the nod on the right. Jessie Stapleton, Megan Connolly and Lily Agg were the midfield trio, while Amber Barrett was rewarded for her club form alongside Kyra Carusa in attack.

This was a fiery, physical encounter from the off, Lily Agg setting the tone with an early two-footed tackle she somehow wasn’t booked for. — RTÉ Sport May 31, 2024 Buoyed by the goal, Sweden looked to be clawing their way on top – and had a penalty shout waved away after a poor Ziu challenge – but Ireland had another golden opportunity just after the hour-mark.

In the 52nd minute, Filippa Angeldal found herself with plenty of time and space in the box to cross, and Courtney Brosnan fumbled what should have been a bread-and-butter claim, only for Ziu to clear.
