Late Goal Secures North Ireland U19 Win in UEFA Qualifier
BAGNO A RIPOLI, Italy (Interstat) — Daisy Conway scored in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time to lift North Ireland U19 to a 3-2 victory over Belarus U19 in a UEFA Under-19 Championship qualification match Tuesday at Viola Park.
North Ireland built a 2-0 lead with goals from Darcie Mcneill in the 48th minute and Ellen Hampton in the 59th. Belarus, which got a goal and an assist from substitute Hanna Hadzinskaja, equalized with Lizavieta Marčuk’s 83rd-minute strike before Conway’s decisive late intervention. The result outperformed a pre-match projection of a 1-1 draw.
