    It's another routine set play that Abbie Magee misjudged. That sort of thing is proving very costly for Northern Ireland, but you can see what it means to Irene Fuhrmann.

    Over the piece Austria have certainly deserved to win the game.

    It's a tough end for Northern Ireland but unfortunately Austria have been better.

    GOAL Austria 2-0 Northern Irelandpublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 11 July 2022

    Katharina Naschenweng (88 mins)

    Katharina Naschenweng looks like she has sealed Austria's win with a second two minutes from time.

    Abbie Magee misjudged a cross-field pass, allowing Naschenweng to get in and she moved past Sarah McFadden before drilling a left-foot shot across Jackie Burns and into the far corner.

    A clinical finish.

    Laura Feiersinger comes close for Austria.

    Her shot was well hit but it was always rising and flew just over the crossbar.

    And a minute later Jackie Burns comes off her line well to clear.

    There are few signs of a Northern Ireland equaliser at this stage.

    If Austria do get a second, you feel it's definitely going to come from Barbara Dunst. Whenever she gets on the ball she's very, very lively.

    And the subs keep on coming.

    Lisa Makas is on for Austria, while Caitlin McGuinness and Louise McDaniel come on for Northern Ireland.

    That was a lovely first-touch from Emily Wilson, but she is then forced under pressure and is closed down.

    Can she offer a spark in attack for her side?

    Austria are so calm. They've been in this position before, they made the semi-finals at the last Euros.

    They back themselves not to concede another goal.

    Two interesting substitutions for Northern Ireland.

    Rachel Furness and Kirsty McGuinness depart and are replaced by the youthful Joely Andrews and Emily Wilson.

    You can hear the Northern Ireland fans doing their bit to lift their team for what they hope will be a big finish.

    Have the players got it in them?

    Northern Ireland aren't here to make up the numbers. They're here to compete and I think they've really shown that, not just in their character but in their ability on the pitch.

    That's good defending from NI's Rebecca Holloway who gets across the front post to clear a dangerous cross for a corner.

    The corner comes to nothing for the Austrians.

    OK, what have you got left in the tank Northern Ireland?

    Fifteen minutes left at St Mary's.

    There have been signs of encouragement from Northern Ireland. Since the sun's gone down they've have started to play a little bit better. It must be cooler on the pitch now.

    It's do or die now.

    Northern Ireland have 20 minutes to stay in the tournament. they have nothing to lose, don't leave with any regrets.

    And that water break is a perfect time for each team to make a substitution.

    NI's Abbie Magee comes on for Rebecca McKenna, while for Austria the change is Katharina Naschenweng for Julia Hickelsberger-Fuller.

    Much better from Northern Ireland. It's a great spell, can they keep it up and get a goal?

  19. Postpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 11 July 2022

    Austria 1-0 Northern Ireland

    Absolutely no doubt about it, here.

    Northern Ireland are right in this match now as an attacking force.

    Kirsty McGuinness down the left is becoming more and more of an outlet.

    Then from the corner, Rachel Furness gets in a looping header, but it is too high as it lands on top of the net.
