Overview
- Ireland won 3-2 in Gdańsk on Tuesday with goals from Emily Murphy, Katie McCabe and Marissa Sheva.
- The result moves Ireland above Poland into third in League A Group A2, a position that seeds them into a gentler play-off path against lower‑league opposition.
- McCabe volleyed in for 2-0, Ewa Pajor later struck to make it 3-2, and McCabe missed a late penalty as Ireland closed out the game under pressure.
- Players managed a dry, bumpy field at Polsat Plus Arena that kicked up divots and made clean passing hard, turning stretches into scrappy contests.
- Denise O’Sullivan returned for her 130th cap as Kyra Carusa missed out with a bug and Ruesha Littlejohn remained out with an Achilles flare-up but is expected back for Saturday’s Aviva Stadium rematch.
