This is certainly not how the Irish women imagined their dress rehearsal for the Women’s World Cup. Less than a week before the start of the tournament in New Zealand and Australia, they tested against the Colombians, who also qualified. But the match was abandoned after 23 minutes. The reason for this was the tough playing style of the South Americans.
“The match, which took place at Meakin Park in Brisbane, got too physical. After consultation with the officials, it has been decided to abandon the match,” the Football Association of Ireland said in a statement. The match took place behind closed doors.
The Colombian federation also confirmed that the match was abandoned at the request of the opponent. You respect the decision.
Star player hospitalized
When the game was abandoned after 23 minutes, the disaster had already happened: according to various media reports, the Irish star player Denise O’Sullivan (29) seriously injured her shin and was taken to hospital. A bitter setback for the Irish.
At the World Cup, Ireland will meet co-hosts Australia, Canada and Nigeria in the group stage. The Colombians meanwhile have to deal with Germany, Morocco and South Korea. (byl)
