Christine Si nclair's missed penalty in Canada's opening match against Nigeria left the door open for some potential chaos in Group B of the World Cup. Canada settled for a goalless draw, and that means that Ireland need at least a point on Wednesday to keep their World Cup hopes alive after a razor tight 1-0 defeat to the hosts Australia in their first match.
Ireland weren't able to find the breakthrough goal in that contest, and they did get to face the Aussies without top striker Sam Kerr, but that shouldn't undersell what was an impressive overall performance. Australia are one of the six favorites to win this entire tournament and were playing in front of their home fans, yet the game finished 1.6-0.6 on xG and was basically even if you subtract the controversial penalty decision awarded to the Aussies.
Ireland's scrappy and physical defensive approach could prove difficult to break down in the second match against a Canada side that lacked real creativity an d chance creation in the draw with Nigeria.
