Jessie Stapleton - 74 mins
Jessie Stapleton deftly glances home a third goal for the Republic of Ireland, getting on the end of Katie McCabe's corner and guiding the ball beyond Zoi Nasi.
It has been a far better half from Carla Ward's side, who have been clinical with their chances.

Kyra Carusa - 60 mins
A poacher's finish from Kyra Carusa to double the Republic of Ireland's lead.
Katie McCabe swing in a great cross to Leanne Kiernan, whose first-time strike is palmed away by Zoi Sasi, only as far as Carusa, who is there to stab home from close range.

Marissa Sheva - 49 mins
Deadlock finally broken and what an impact from substitute Marissa Sheva!
Sheva strides forward and has a low shot which takes a significant deflection off Eleni Markou that wrong foots goalkeeper Zoi Nasi as the effort changes direction and nestles in the bottom corner.
Relief is palpable in the celebrations from the Republic of Ireland players and Carla Ward.

It seems Carla Ward was listening to me as Katie McCabe and Marissa Sheva are standing on the sidelines ready to come on.

Greece 0-0 Republic of Ireland
How fit is Katie McCabe and how long before Carla Ward decides to introduce her to help the Republic of Ireland's blunt attacking display?
