Ireland suffer 4-0 defeat against dominant USA in friendly in Colorado
USA 4 Republic of Ireland 0 IRELAND FELL TO a four-goal defeat against the USA in Denver last night in the opening game of their international friendly double-header. The world number-one ranked side proved too strong for Carla Ward's team. Avery Patterson's header put USA ahead in the 19th minute before Ireland suffered another setback in first-half injury time when Sam Coffey scored. The third USA goal arrived courtesy of Rose Lavelle in the 53rd minute and the US rounded off the scoring in the 63rd minute courtesy of Alyssa Thompson. Ireland are straight back into action on Sunday night when they face the USA in Cincinnati, (kick-off 8pm Irish time). The scale of the challenge is apparent after this opening game for a squad that had the likes of Katie McCabe and Aoife Mannion unavailable for selection beforehand, while injury ruled out Denise O'Sullivan and Megan Campbell in the build-up to the game. Emma Hayes rested the European-based players in the US squad as she focused on a team of mostly domestic talent, with the exception of Chelsea's Naomi Girma who captained the team.
