Megan Campbell's throw-in is a weapon we know that the Republic of Ireland have.
A bit of fortune with the Turkey defender hitting the ball there, but all you can do is get the ball into those positions and hope for a bit of luck.

International football has improved and lower ranked teams are showing that if they are organised, compact and have the quality Turkey did today that they can hurt you and it can become a difficult game.

The Republic of Ireland finished the first half really positively but the Turkey goal was a really sloppy goal to concede.
It's a very easy goal for Turkey to score.

Republic of Ireland striker on RTE
When the Republic of Ireland are struggling to get out from the back, they don't have players within close proximity of each other when the ball gets into the wide areas, the distance we are asking players to make up is a little bit too far.

Match winner Emily Murphy speaking on RTE:
"I am over the moon with the goal.
"To be honest, I don't quite remember it [the goal], I just remember it coming to me and knowing I had a lot more time than I thought.
"Past version of myself would have hit that into Row Z, but I took a breath and composed myself and hit it as hard as I could.
"You dream of the game winners, but ultimately we should have been better and didn't want it to get to that point."

Player of the Match Katie McCabe speaking on RTE:
"We got the result and that's what happened in the end. But from a performance point of view we have to be miles better going into Tuesday.
"I felt we didn't move the ball quick enough and allowed them to get into the game and then some sloppy mistakes gives them that sniff to go forward."
FT: Turkey 1-2 Republic of Ireland
Republic of Ireland manager Carla Ward speaking on RTE:
"That's character and that is the Irish mentality.
"We are never rolling over and even when we went 1-0 down, we were disappointed with the goal, but the reaction after that, the willingness, the attitude to win tackles and close gaps and to make sure we were front-footed was something that we can walk away and be proud of.
"Winning it at the death puts us in a good position for Tuesday."

Emily Murphy- 90mins
Emily Murphy nets her first international goal for the Republic of Ireland and what a crucial one that could be!
Katie McCabe's cross is misjudged by Sejde Abrahamson which gifts Murphy a huge chance and she keeps her composure and fires high past Selda Akgoz.
That was a nice finish from the Republic of Ireland substitute.
Emily Murphy's late winner was her first goal for Republic of Ireland
Emily Murphy's 89th-minute goal completed a comeback victory for the Republic of Ireland against Turkey to keep their chances of finishing top of Women's Nations League Group B2 alive.
Kader Hancar had put the hosts in Istanbul ahead nine minutes after the restart following a first half of few chances.
However two goals in the final 10 minutes, the first an own goal from Busem Seker before Murphy's dramatic winner, means that the Republic of Ireland remain three points behind group leaders Slovenia.
The Slovenians will now travel to Cork for deciding game against the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday night with Carla Ward knowing that if her side are victorious and can better their head-to-head record, they can secure top spot.
Slovenia won 4-0 at home when the two sides met in February.
Katie McCabe started for Republic of Ireland six days after winning the Champions League with Arsenal
The visitors dominated the early proceedings but struggled with their final deliveries into the box with the home side having the first shot on target of the game in the 11th minute when Sejde Abrahamson's effort from a tight angle was stopped by Courtney Brosnan.
Jessie Stapleton's header then proved a comfortable save for Selda Akgoz before no one could steer home Ilayda Civelek's cross at the other end.
Just after the half-hour mark, Lucy Quinn's shot looked like it was going to dip over Selda Akgoz, but the home side's stopper palmed the chance over the crossbar.
Chances remained few and far between until the final five minutes of the half when both teams had opportunities.
The home side came close with Brosnan forced to deflect Miray Cin's strike and Aoife Mannion denied Ebru Topcu's follow-up effort.
Ward's side then pushed forward through Denise O'Sullivan, who found Katie McCabe at the edge of the box with Akgoz making a diving save to deny the chance.
McCabe had another opportunity through the resulting corner, but a vital clearance by Busem Seker thwarted the chance.
In the final few seconds of the half, Abbie Larkin's pass put Amber Barrett through on goal but, from a tight angle, she sent her effort wide.
It was the perfect start to the second half for the home side who broke the deadlock just nine minutes after the restart when Ilayda Civelek charged forward and into the box and found the onrushing Hancar, who fired between the legs of Jessie Stapleton and past the diving Brosnan.
Ward turned to her bench to bring on fresh legs and shuffle her attacking options and her side levelled the game with just 10 minutes to go when Busem Seker tried to deflect Megan Campbell's long throw to safety, but instead headed the ball over Akgoz and into the back of her own net.
The away side continued to push for a winner and their persistence paid off when Abrahamson misjudged Champions League winner McCabe's cross and substitute Murphy's first-time finish flew past Akgoz.
Turkey tried to quell the celebrations and came close to equalising in the final seconds but Ebru Topcu's shot from the edge of the box was inches wide of the right-hand post.
