Katie McCabe got another goal for Republic of Ireland in Saturday’s FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier against Netherlands.
After netting against France earlier in the week, our left-back scored from the penalty spot in Utrecht this weekend – the equalising goal amid Lineth Beerensteyn’s brace for the hosts.
Daphne van Domselaar and Victoria Pelova were both on the bench as Netherlands climbed to second in Group B, while Republic of Ireland remained bottom.

Chloe Kelly came on in the 75th minute, while Lotte Wubben-Moy was an unused substitute as England remained joint top of Group C with Spain on six points.
The latter beat Ukraine 3-1 on Saturday, with Laia Codina playing the full 90 minutes and Mariona Caldentey given a rest on the bench.
There was a goalless draw for Smilla Holmberg as Sweden held Serbia to a point apiece away from home, keeping a clean sheet in the process and remaining second in Group A. Stina Blackstenius came on in the 56th minute, before Gunners loanee Rosa Kafaji was introduced in the 75th.
