Â鶹ԼÅÄ Sport NI in VarazdinI mentioned the pitch beforehand, and it has no doubt had an impact on Northern Ireland's passing game, with even simple passes bobbling along to their intended target.
That has forced them to play longer balls forward, which has not suited players like Keri Halliday, who has struggled to have an influence on the game so far.

Northern Ireland winger on Â鶹ԼÅÄ iPlayerEncouraging signs.
Northern Ireland just need to build momentum again in this final 15 minutes of the first half.
Try and put Croatia under as much pressure as possible.

It's straight off the training ground to the edge of the area, but Petra Pezelj's effort is well over the bar.
No harm done.

It's been all Northern Ireland so far, despite the scoreline, but Janja Canjevac does well to win a corner.

Katie McCabe finds space at least 40-yards out and notices that stopper Tatia Gabunia is off her line so tries her luck with her effort curling over the Georgia stopper and into the back of the net.
'The referee is going to start clamping down'published at 18:24 British Summer Time
Croatia 1-0 Northern Ireland
Caragh Hamilton
Northern Ireland winger on Â鶹ԼÅÄ iPlayerIt's becoming a real theme of the game now. Croatia are trying to upset the rhythm of Northern Ireland by giving away cheap fouls and free kicks.
I think it's possible that the referee is going to start clamping down on that with yellow cards if it's going to be a persistent theme now.

Denise O'Sullivan plays a one-two with Abbie Larkin and sends a delivery into the box which Tatia Gabunia palms out of play.

It's brilliant by Danielle Maxwell who glides past a number of challenges to find Connie Scofield out wide.

Kyra Carusa (58 mins)

That was a lovely bit of skill from Carusa.

Simone Magill should have brought Northern Ireland level!
It's a great ball in by Keri Halliday, who plays in a superb ball but Magill cant keep her effort down and it loops onto the roof of he net form seven yards.
