The Ireland Women's National Team celebrated their second win in the 2025 UEFA Nations League by beating Greece 4-0 in Crete.

Second-half goals from Marissa Sheva, Kyra Carusa, Jessie Stapleton and Amber Barrett secured the three points for Carla Ward's team to move onto six points in Group B2.

Denise O'Sullivan led the team out as captain on her 122nd appearance to move her up to second on the all-time list, while Carusa's goal elevated her to 11th on the all-time top scorer list.

This was an important victory for Ireland after losing away to Slovenia in their last outing and they had to wait until the second period to break the deadlock when Sheva's deflected shot fizzed into the back of the net net.

Carusa increased the lead on 61 minutes when she converted from close range following good work by Leanne Kiernan and then Stapleton headed in on 74 minutes when connecting with a corner kick delivery.

Barrett then capped off her 50th appearance with a sweet low drive for her eighth goal at senior international level.

Ireland will now face Greece again on Tuesday, April 8th in Tallaght Stadium as they aim to keep the pressure on Slovenia to claim top spot in the group.

Greece: Zoi Nasi; Maria Palama, Eleni Markou (Ioanna Chamalidou 77), Maria Gkouni; Stamatia Ntarzanou, Eleni Saich, Veatriki Sarri, Athanasia Moraitou (Eleni Kakambouki 72), Maria Mitkou; Ioanna Papatheodorou, Anastasia Spyridonidou (Sofia Kongouli 72).
