Ex-Northern Ireland international on co-commentary

Simone Magill has been talking about the influence on Rachel Daly since she joined Aston Villa and you can see that tonight with her link-up play.

In the full-time environment it is so professional and she looks fantastic out there.

The whistle blows and the Republic of Ireland are the comfortable 4-0 victors at Hidegkuti Nandor Stadium this evening.

Caitlin Hayes' header opened the scoring on the 19th minute before Katie McCabe's 30-yard strike doubled their advantage before the break.

Kyra Carusa scored her second goal of the Nations League campaign just after the restart with Denise O'Sullivan netting on the 70th minute.

It was a dominant performance from the visitors with the home side struggling to test Courtney Brosnan.

The result means that the Republic of Ireland extend their advantage at the top of Group B, with the maximum of six points.

That goal seems to have settled Northern Ireland, who are playing with confidence as they hunt for the second goal.

Simone Magill sends Kirsty McGuinness bounding down the left, but a sliding challenge prevents her from getting a shot off.

Those two have linked up really well so far in the game.

Nearly an instant impact from the substitute as Virag Nagy latches onto the ball in the box, but her resulting strike is straight at Courtney Brosnan.

Virag Nagy replaces Zsanett Kajan for the final minute of this game.

There will be three minutes of additional time.

Will there be any late drama?

Maria Bashka's looping cross lands just over the crossbar, although Shannon Turner did seem to have it covered.

A much more ponderous approach from Northern Ireland so far, who will need to lift the tempo again as they did so well in the first half.

That was better from Northern Ireland as Rebecca Holloway finds Simone Magill with a lofted pass. The striker does well to keep the ball and lay it off to Megan Bell.

The Rangers midfielder is forced wider than she would have wanted and her cut-back is put out for a corner.

Luca Papp is cautioned for a late tackle.

Papp received a yellow card against Albania so will now miss the Northern Ireland game.

Izzy Atkinson has looked dangerous since her introduction and has just shown great skill on the left channel to travel towards the box.

However, Dora Zeller produces a superb tackle to deny Atkinson from delivering a pass into the box.

It has been a quiet start to the half, with both sides feeling each other out again.

As was alluded to earlier, half-time may have come at the wrong time for Northern Ireland who had been pressing hard for a goal in the closing stages of the half.

Eileen Gleeson makes her final change of the evening as she introduces Jamie Finn for Tyler Toland.

Emoke Papai does well to weave round multiple Republic of Ireland defenders and finds space before taking a strike, but it curls wide.

In a nice gesture, Lauren Wade has been handed the armband for the second half.

That's a classy touch on her 50th cap.

There's no changes at the break and Sarah McFadden remains on the pitch on her 100th cap.

Kristina Maksuti gets the action back underway at Seaview for Albania with Lauren Wade taking the captain's armband for the second period.

Caitlin Hayes receives the Republic of Ireland's first yellow card of the Nations League campaign.

Kyra Carusa's evening is over as she is replaced by Amber Barrett.

The home side have their best chance of the game!

Substitute Fanni Vacheter's strong strike is on target and makes Courtney Brosnan produce her first save of the game.
