Vera Pauw's side will now hope to complete the job of becoming the first Irish women's team to qualify for a major tournament.
Republic of Ireland manager Pauw said: "Of course in a game like this there are many moments you get frustrated, but we scored beautiful goals. We could have scored more, but when you score nine goals away, it's good.
"We have done the job, we've done really well, and it's a great team performance.
"I want to highlight not the individual performances, because everybody had to be so disciplined to stay in their role and with their task. We were onto it at half-time because there was some showboating in the first half, and we thought that would gift goals!
"I don't want to pick out one player because this is a great, disciplined team performance.
"We have two games to go and we have it in our own hands. We have the feeling that we can maybe do it." |
