At the time of writing, Ireland leads Canada by a goal to nil in the Fifa Women's World Cup in Perth.
With 30 minutes played, Vera Pauw's side dominated the early proceedings and took the lead after five minutes through the excellent Katie McCabe.
Pressure from the Girls in Green led to an early corner. McCabe stepped up, caught the Canadian defence by surprise, and steered an expertly delivered corner kick into the net.
