It's really good play as the ball flows through McPartlan, Andrews and then to Howe.
She spins and find Beattie in the area, but the flag is up for offside.
That was tight. So close to another fine move.

Katie McCabe's long throw-in falls perfectly for Jess Ziu, who travels forward before attempting to curl a strike into the top corner.
She comes within a whisker of pulling it off, but the alert Constance Picaud palms the danger away.
Julie-Ann Russell does latch onto the rebound with her strike lacking the pace to test Picaud.

Bosnia-Herzegovina are certainly showing more enterprise since Andrews' opener.
They have to respond or Northern Ireland will be in second place in the Group.

The first bit of real quality in the game results in a Northern Ireland goal.
It was good work from Kerry Beattie to find Casey Howe and the winger also did well to drive into the box and pick out Joely Andrews, who had darted into the area.
What a start to the second half!

It's a good chance for Selma Kapetanovic at the back post but she can't properly connect and it's easy for Burns.

Goodness me, Delphine Cacarino nearly makes an instant impact as she beats her marker and travels into the box.
Courtney Brosnan makes a great low save to stop her resulting strike.

Joely Andrews (47 mins)
Breakthrough!
Casey Howe has loads of space out wide and she charges into the area.
Joely Andrews, who hit the crossbar at the end of the first half, races onto her pass to tuck the ball home.
That was really well worked!

Hopefully we see Megan [Campbell] on, her throw-ins could even be better than a corners at this stage.

The other home nations are also in action on this Tuesday tea time.
In the Republic of Ireland's group, England are currently being held by Sweden in Gothenburg.
As things stand, that would be enough for automatic qualification for the Euro 2025 finals for the current reigning champions.
In League B, Kirsty Hanson has put Scotland ahead at home to Serbia while Jess Fishlock has been on target for Wales against Kosovo.

France have been nullified in terms of shots and if we can keep them to that then we'll be happy.
