A STUNNING GOAL from Katie McCabe handed Ireland an early lead in their Women’s World Cup Group B clash with Canada.
But the day ended in disappointment as a Megan Connolly own goal and an Adriana Leon strike saw Canada from behind to win 2-1 and eliminate Ireland ahead of their final group game.
McCabe produced a brilliant delivery to score directly from a corner in the fourth minute, the ball evading Canada goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan and sailing straight into the net.
The strike represents Ireland’s first goal at a Women’s World Cup, and McCabe’s 21st international goal.
