Ireland v Slovenia player ratings as Girls in Green to face play-off
COURTNEY BROSNAN: Pulled off a crucial save at the end of a quiet first-half and a couple more after the break. 7
JESSIE STAPLETON: Excellent first-time cross for the opener, one of many dangerous right-wing deliveries. 7
ANNA PATTEN: Mostly involved in the opposition area, where a handful of opportunities fell her way. 6
CAITLIN HAYES: A confident first start under Ward, but missed a great chance to score. 6
ABBIE LARKIN: A constant threat on the left with her willingness to run at defenders. 7
DENISE O'SULLIVAN: Kept Ireland on the front-foot in possession, and was quick to break up Slovenian play. 7
MEGAN CONNOLLY: Delivered plenty of dangerous crosses and wasn't afraid to have a go herself. 7
EMILY MURPHY: Her best performance to date for Ireland should have been crowned with a goal. 8
KATIE McCABE: The target of some tough tackles. Linked up well with Larkin on the left. 7
KYRA CARUSA: Did a lot of running the channels, but touch let her down at times. 7
SAOIRSE NOONAN: The former Cork Gaelic footballer made a dream return to Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 7
SUBS:
Megan Campbell (for Stapleton 62): Produced a handful of trademark long throws. 6
Amber Barrett (for Noonan 62): Added some pace to the Irish attack. 6
Louise Quinn (for Larkin 80): Not on long enough to rate.
Marissa Sheva (for Carusa 80): Not on long enough to rate.
