No one would have argued if Armenian referee Araksya Saribekyan had stopped the game half-an-hour in, such was the state of play. One eager groundsman entered the playing surface with a brush-like tool, which he used to sweep some water off the pitch. It was a decent effort, but the odds were stacked against him.
But between the conditions and the hosts clearly having done their homework, it was anything but easy for the Girls in Green, despite their complete dominance of possession. However, she got under the ball and sent it looping wide of the target, and too far in front of McCabe, who was making a beeline inside towards the back post.
As the rain fell heavily, a couple of chances dropped to O’Sullivan in quick succession, but neither found the target.
