IRL V URU ( Pool B ) Hockey World League Semi-Final Valencia


Match Review IRL - URU 3-2
Aine Connery’s 55th minute winner saw Ireland become the first side guaranteed to make it through to the quarter-finals as they survived a second half onslaught from Uruguay to prevail 3-2.
The Irish looked to be in control at 2-0 up. Anna O’Flanagan slid on to a Nikki Evans pass at close quarters to secure the first. Evans then grabbed her fourth goal of the tournament when she got a diving touch to a Chloe Watkins cross early in the second half.
But Uruguay began to punish the Irish indiscipline – they ended with four yellow cards and two green – and got a lifeline when Janine Stanley showed some audacious skills down the right wing before flipping the ball over Emma Gray for her side’s first goal of the tournament. In the 44th minute, Manuela Vilar dragged home a penalty corner to make it 2-2 and very much game on. Ireland replied, though, with a solid final quarter and won a couple of corners, one of which Cliodhna Sargent swept to Connery to guide home for the victory.
