Ireland captain, Katie McCabe has said that her team drew 0-0 with Nigeria’s Super Falcons in Monday’s FIFA Women World Cup tie because they failed to convert their chances during the encounter.
Both the Republic of Ireland and Nigeria played goalless at the World Cup on Monday.
Speaking to RTE Sport after the game, McCabe believed Ireland could have taken all three points against Nigeria in Brisbane.
She said: “We spoke at the start [about wanting] to start the game with a lot of energy.
“To have a lot of the possession was really good, it was just about utilising it in the right areas.
“We did create some good opportunities and it was disappointing that we did not capitalise on it”.
