    Netherlands 1-1 Republic of Ireland

    Ireland make a change with Amber Barrett getting half an hour to show what she can do as Lucy Quinn is withdrawn.

    Netherlands 1-1 Republic of Ireland

    The Netherlands really upping the ante this last five minutes.

    The ball seems to be in and around the Ireland box most of the time, but so far Courtney Brosnan hasn't been troubled by an effort on goal.

    Still, Ireland will want to play more of the game in the Dutch half.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:06 GMT

    Two yellow cards in quick succession for the Irish as Marissa Sheva and Emily Murphy go into the referee's book for foul play.

  4. CLOSE!published at 21:03 GMT

    Netherlands 1-1 Republic of Ireland

    The Euro 2017 champions could have been back in the lead.

    The ball is centred from the right and Vivianne Miedema strikes unopposed from the edge of the Ireland area, but the ball zips over the crossbar. A warning shot across the Irish bows there.

    Katie McCabe is all over this game.

    The left-back goes down clutching her face after the arm of Romee Leuchter collides with her. It doesn't appear intentional and the referee believes a free-kick is suitable enough punishment.

    That was Katie McCabe's 33rd goal in an Ireland shirt.

    Katie McCabe (50 mins)

    What a start to the second half for Ireland!

    A cross to the back post is headed backwards by Anna Patten, and Dutch goalkeeper Kop, who had come for the ball but didn't get it, collided with the Ireland player, leading to the referee pointing to the spot.

    Up stepped captain McCabe to send the keeper the wrong way and fire into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal. What a chance now to get something from the game.

    She was rash when she came out. Caitlin got her head on it first.

    Early pressure from Ireland.

    Katie McCabe swings in a free-kick from 40 yards. The Dutch head away for a corner, can the Irish make anything of this?

    Lineth Beerensteyn's goal is all that separates the two teams at the break.

    Still all to play for in the second period.

  14. CLOSE!published at 20:33 GMT

    Netherlands 1-0 Republic of Ireland

    Great save by Courtney Brosnan to keep the score at one.

    Another super cross from the right goes over the head of Aoife Mannion and onto the foot of Lineth Beerensteyn. It looks certain she will score but Brosnan is equal to her shot from close range and Ireland clear.

    If Brosnan looked shaky earlier she more than made up for it there.

  15. Postpublished at 20:28 GMT

    Better from the Irish as they hold on to the ball for a period of time.

    Lucy Quinn receives the ball just inside the Dutch half and attacks the space before curling a left-foot effort from 25 yards, bit it goes just the wrong side of the left-hand upright.

    Courtney Brosnan was down receiving some attention but is back on her feet now and appears well enough to continue after going down following that scramble in the box.

    Into the last 10 minutes before the break.

    The Netherlands beginning to dominate proceedings here.

    A free-kick is taken from the right side of the box. Courtney Brosnan comes to claim but makes a bit of a mess of the gather as the ball runs loose, but thankfuly for Ireland the ball is cleared to safety.

    The build-up to the goal showed the first frailties in the Irish defence and they should have really prevented the cross from Lynn Wilms.

    However Carla Ward's side must reset and keep their focus as they have looked strong in attack.

    It's a great delivery and it's really good play for the Dutch. We have to get ourselves back up and go again.

    What a killer-punch from the Dutch.

    An attack down the right sees a superb ball played across the Irish goal on to the toe of Beerensteyn who slots home from close range for her 40th goal in Orange.
