Zsnaett Kajan's evening is over as she is replaced by Sara Pusztai.

Another huge chance for Hungary!

Evelin Fenyresi latches onto Shannon Turner's attempted long ball and plays a superb pass to Emoke Papai, who can't keep her shot on target.

Shannon Turner fingertips Evelin Fenyvesi's rocket of a strike onto the left hand post.

What a chance for the home side!

Tanya Oxtoby is the first to turn to her bench as she introduces Simone Magill and Megan Bell for Caitlin McGuinness and Joely Andrews.

Will these substitutes make an impact?

Katie McCabe's two goals - the second of which took a wicked deflection - has the Republic ahead at the break but it hasn't been an entirely convincing performance by Eileen Gleeson's side. The Republic have looked a little ragged and while the Albanians haven't had much possession, they've looked dangerous when they do get into the Irish half.

Dora Zeller nods on Henrietta Csiszar's free-kick, but her header is off target.

That's much better from Northern Ireland.

Caitlin McGuinness is in the team for her pace and she finally gets to stretch her legs.

It was a good pass to pick out Rachel Furness, and a decent effort that was narrowly over.

That's much more like it.

Caitlin McGuinness plays the ball back for Rachel Furness, whose strike from range is just over the crossbar.

That's the closest Northern Ireland have come to finding an equaliser.

Emoke Papai speedily makes her way into the box and fires a low strike towards goal, which is wide of the right hand post.

A slow start to the second half.

We're back underway at Alcufer Stadium with no changes in personnel for either side.

It's going to be a big team talk for Tanya Oxtoby as she looks to help inspire a comeback for Northern Ireland.

After a poor start, things definitely improved as the half progressed but they've yet to find that clinical touch when they enter the final third.

How soon will we see changes after the restart?

The whistle blows and at the break Hungary lead thanks to Viktoria Szabo's strike.

It's been a half to forget for Northern Ireland who have struggled to test Reka Szocs.

As for the home side, they have looked dangerous every time they have pushed into the final third.

However, will Hungary regret not taking advantage of the chances they have had?
