Simone Magill is definitely dropping deeper to try and influence the game.

She was very isolated against Poland, but is immediately impacting things a lot more.

Plenty of possession for Northern Ireland, just nothing to show for it so far.

Emina Ekic tries to come inside and weave her way into the box, but a combination of Brenna McPartlan and Rachel Dugdale prevents her from progressing.

Lauren Wade lifts the ball in, but it is an easy take for Almina Hodzick.

A bright start for Northern Ireland, with Simone Magill dropping deeper and linking play.

She wins a free-kick for Northern Ireland in a promising position out on the left hand side after being tripped whilst racing down the line.

Lauren Wade and Danielle Maxwell are over it.

Kascie Weir, on her first start for Northern Ireland gets the game under way.

The anthems are done, it's almost time for kick-off at Inver Park.

A chastening night for Carla Ward's Republic of Ireland as their perfect Nations League record comes crashing down. Slovenia were ruthlessly efficient and well worth their victory.

Despite forcing 15 corners, Ireland couldn't find a way past an inspired Zala Mersnik, who commanded her area superbly throughout.

Stay with us as attention turns to Northern Ireland's crucial clash with Bosnia-Herzegovina, kicking off at 7:00pm.

Ten days ago, Kascie Weir was getting ready to head to Albania with Northern Ireland's Under-19s.

That all changed with a last-minute call up to the senior team, and her childhood dream came true when she made her debut off the bench in Poland.

To say it's been a whirlwind week is an understatement, and now she makes a first start.

Will we see a two-pronged attack with Simone Magill, or will the NI skipper drop deeper to try and impact the game? Time will tell.

A night to forget for Carla Ward's side as they suffer a comprehensive defeat in Koper. A double from Lara Prasnikar and goals from Zara Kramzar and substitute Nina Kajzba secured a historic victory for the hosts.

The fourth official signals four minutes of additional time as the Irish continue to search for a consolation in what has been a nightmare evening for Carla Ward's side.

Tyler Toland's ambitious effort from distance is blocked, falling kindly for Marissa Sheva. Her low cross is turned behind, giving Ireland their 14th corner of a frustrating evening.

Katie McCabe delivers a corner into the six-yard box, but Zala Mersnik comes through a crowd of bodies to claim the ball confidently.

The home side makes another change as two-goal hero Lara Prasnikar receives warm applause from the home crowd while being replaced by Mateja Zver.

Abbie Larkin engineers a neat one-two on the edge of the penalty area to create shooting space, but her effort goes straight down the middle and is comfortably saved.

Katie McCabe opts for a clever set-piece routine, playing it short to Denise O'Sullivan, who returns the ball, but McCabe's subsequent shot is blocked by the alert Slovenian defence.

Lana Golob goes into the referee's book for bringing down Kyra Carusa. A free kick in a promising position for Ireland, though set pieces haven't been kind to them tonight.
