The crowd noises go up every time Ireland get the ball in an attacking position. Niamh Fahey slices a shot well wide from 30 yards, she was never scoring from there.

Ireland have to gamble with numbers forward from set-pieces. Canada almost take advantage with a break but Marissa Sheva defends well.

Canada sub Cloe Lacasse is completely unmarked in the box but heads wide. Another Canada goal and I think Ireland are done.

With Ireland they look tired. It seems that they are getting a lot deeper and allowing Canada to come on to them. They need to keep switched on, they could still get something from this game.

Amber Barrett, whose goal against Scotland got Ireland here, just fails a control a ball into the box.

Remember the Irish are out unless they score. Twenty minutes left.

Canada go back to front too easily and Jordyn Huitema's header is saved by Courtney Brosnan.

Yikes. Christine Sinclair is free from a cross but she's not expecting it to come to her so sort of shins it at the Irish keeper.

It's probably the first time that Ireland have been in the box this half.

The ball goes flying over the bar but it's promising for Ireland. They need to get back into the game.

Nothing to lose now, Vera Pauw rolls the dice.

Amber Barrett, Lily Agg and Izzy Atkinson replace Kyra Carusa, Ruesha Littlejohn and Sinead Farrelly.

Ireland could do with another half-time break here in all honesty.

Oh but hello, here's a chance. Irish striker Kyra Carusa heads over from close range with the goal gaping.

Christine Sinclair, the top scorer in the history of international football, has her first proper look at goal but her shot is poked at Courtney Brosnan.

Canada defender Vanessa Gilles goes into the book.

It is mostly Canada now. The Republic need to find a way back into this.

Now that Canada are matching Ireland with the press, some Irish players are starting to go missing.

This is going to be difficult match but you cannot go missing,

Canada bring off goalscorer Adriana Leon for Cloe Lacasse.

The Irish bring on Marissa Sheva for Aine O'Gorman.

One thing I will say about Adriana Leon - I played with her at West Ham - she will not give up.

Her first touch is so crucial. Her touch takes it away and she touches it past Brosnan.

I think it's a toe-poke but she won't care how it's gone in!

Canada back on the attack, Louise Quinn heads away.

Adriana Leon has a shot which flies just wide.

The Irish have to weather this storm, they just have to, or else they're going out of the World Cup.

Unless the script is about a classic Ireland comeback, Andy?

Ah, that's not in the script.
