Manager Carla Ward has called for her players to receive credit after the Republic of Ireland defeated Poland 3-2 in Gdansk. The result marks the third consecutive win for the Irish side in their European Championship qualifying campaign. According to the Football Association of Ireland, the visitors established a lead through goals from Kyra Carusa and Leanne Kiernan before a Polish fightback levelled the score. Midfielder Tyler Toland secured the win with a strike in the second half. Ward stated that the performance demonstrated the resilience of her squad away from home, per RTE Sport. Ireland now occupy second place in Group A3 behind Germany. The victory ensures the team remains in a strong position to qualify for the tournament held in Switzerland next year. Poland remain at the bottom of the group standings following the defeat. The two sides will meet again in the return fixture in Dublin later this month, according to the Irish Examiner. Ward praised the defensive organisation shown during the final stages of the match.
