Combine those substitutes! Healy and Whelan play a neat 1-2 and that left Emily with the space to choose where to tuck the ball! Left footed strike to the goalie's right! #FM26

Oh no! Larkin slipped when on a run down the wing! She isn't injured, thankfully, but her stamina is the lowest it can go. Best to sub her off to be safe. #FM26

It's a fourth! Extraordinary! The perfect 10.0 performance! #FM26

The first female competitive hat-trick of the save! (Noonan scored a treble in a friendly). It's a Payne shot that was blocked, but it was perfectly set up for Abbie to guide the ball off the post and in! How she didn't get a game for so many years is baffling! But she's in her prime now! #FM26

Apologies, I just bypassed the half-time screen, not thinking. Here's what you need to know. Montenegro just hit the post from a free-kick in the same spot Murphy took hers. #FM26

Murphy's free kick comes in...off the post! Larkin to follow-up! Goal! It's a brace for Abbie! #FM26

Told you - entertainment! Petrovic brings the deficit back down to one for the hosts! #FM26

Creator turned scorer! She has the heading skills down to a tee! Erin McLaughlin! #FM26

The breakthrough comes courtesy of Abbie Larkin in the 17th minute! She's sent through by McLaughlin and makes no mistake with her shot across goal! #FM26

It's perfectly sensible to play the same XI as before. Let's get another victory! #FM26

Top of the group thanks to the 1-1 scoreline in the other match! Going to Podgorica next won't be easy, but with 22 goals scored in our three matches so far, you won't want to miss any of the entertainment! #FM26

Brosnan is caught out by getting down too slowly once again, but it's a precision finish from Rara! #FM26

Tap-in Meehan! 5-1! Her first goal for Ireland in her seventh appearance! #FM26

Ooooh, you gotta appreciate that vision from Fitzgerald to set Izzy Atkinson free in the box to net herself a brace! Delightful! #FM26

The battle for a play off spot is really on.

Can we hang on in there? #footballmanager26 #fm26

The replay camera that would've shown how well Izzy struck this ball first-time wasn't selected, but to get the ball curling away from the goalkeeper but still end up in the bottom corner is magnificent! 3-1 Ireland! #FM26

Montenegro are winning! We have a chance! #FM26

Swivel and shoot! Israel get back in to the contest with their first attempt! Goren celebrates, but we won't settle for this! #FM26

Who needs strikers? Yet another goal from midfield, similar to the Montenegro demolition! It's McLaughlin this time! #FM26

Signal of intent! Mangan shoots and buries the ball in the back of the net! #FM26
