    Northern Ireland are missing a centre-forward. When their defenders are looking up, there's no one to play the ball to.

    Austria 1-0 Northern Ireland

    Northern Ireland are properly up against it here.

    They have spent pretty much all of the opening 25 minutes defending and that will not be easy in the heat.

    They have some good possession down the right now, though.

    Northern Ireland are playing so defensively with their formation. How will they change now they're behind in the game?

    That goal has been coming. There's only been one team in it from an attacking point of view.

    It's poor defending. Now what do Northern Ireland do?

    The ball in takes a deflection but it's all about the movement of Katharina Schiechtl. It was put on a plate for her. Northern Ireland need to push forward here and try to create something of their own.

    GOAL - Austria 1-0 Northern Irelandpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 11 July 2022

    Katharina Schiechtl (19 mins)

    There's the opener.

    Katharina Schiechtl gives Austria the lead in the 19th minute.

    It was a low free-kick from the right and the Austrian defender found space to tap home from close range.

    Poor marking from Northern Ireland.

    That was rash from Demi Vance on Julia Hickelsberger-Fuller.

    Dangerous free-kick incoming.

    Northern Ireland are struggling to break out of their own half without the presence of a centre forward up top.

    In saying that, the pace of Lauren Wade on the right has been more than useful and she looks NI's most dangerous player going forward on the break.

    Austria 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Julia Hickelsberger-Fuller is seeing plenty of the ball down the right for Norway.

    Her cross has gone astray just now, but she is definitely one for NI to keep a close watch on.

    The Northern Ireland players place a lot of faith in his coaching.

    Northern Ireland have to engage a little bit earlier. They've got to make sure they're not getting caught out.

    The movement from Austria is excellent. The pressure is relentless.

    That's a shot on target for Northern Ireland.

    It was long-range and straight at the keeper from Lauren Wade, but it is another sign of how dangerous she could be with her pace.

    Nicole Billa will feel she should have done better there as she can only find the side-netting with a shot.

    She was under pressure and the angle was tight.

    Northern Ireland have been under a fair bit of pressure but Lauren Wade makes a fine break down the right. That's encouraging.

    Northern Ireland are looking defensively tight. They have a deep-block and are happy to drop back.

    They just need to make sure they don't invite too much pressure. Austria are a very good team.

    Northern Ireland are making sure the pressure's on from wide areas. Hopefully they'll push a little bit higher up the pitch. Slowing down the play will help Northern Ireland.

    Big let-off for Northern Ireland.

    Fine left-wing cross from Barbara Dunst reaches Julia Hickelsberger at the back post but she can't find the target with her header.

    Austria have a free-kick in a dangerous position on the right.

    Great come and collect from keeper Jackie Burns, though. That will help calm the nerves.

    A reminder that it was 42 degrees at pitch-side just before kick-off.

    Looks great for us watching, but my goodness that will be a hard shift for those girls.
