Kyra Carusa made it two goals in as many games against Georgia, but while everyone was talking about her flick in Tbilisi, it was a backheel in the build-up to her Tallaght goal that caught the eye.The striker made no mistake to double the Republic of Ireland's advantage in their 3-0 Euro 2025 play-off second leg victory, but Jessie Stapleton's assist was the highlight of the routine affair.Anna Patten played a low pass to the edge of the area, which Stapleton sprinted on to, before flicking a perfect back heel pass into the path of Carusa."Class!
Class!" was Carusa's assessment. "Everyone was looking around asking 'who flicked that ball?'. Stapo, I mean, it was big time.
