England Secures Routine Win Over Republic of Ireland, Edging Closer to Euro 2025 Qualification.

England cruised to a comfortable victory over the Republic of Ireland, bringing them one step closer to securing a spot in Euro 2025. The team's solid performance showcased their determination and skill, making their path to qualification look increasingly promising.

On a rainy night at Carrow Road, the Lionesses took an early lead when Alessia Russo rounded goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan and scored after a precise pass from Beth Mead.

In the second half, Georgia Stanway doubled the lead with a penalty after Niamh Fahey fouled Lauren Hemp in the box.

The Republic of Ireland managed to score in the final seconds as Julie Russell slipped the ball past Hannah Hampton after a scramble in the box.

England dominated early, with Jess Carter, Lauren Hemp, and Beth Mead all coming close but denied by Brosnan. Despite missing several chances, they secured the win. The Lionesses will qualify for Euro 2025 if they avoid defeat against Sweden in their final match.

Sarina Wiegman's team, aiming to defend their European title, will play in Gothenburg on Tuesday, while the Republic of Ireland, still looking for their first qualifying point, will face France.
