DUBLIN :Sweden enjoyed a 3-0 win away to Ireland thanks to two goals from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and one by Fridolina Rolfo in their Euro 2025 Group A3 qualifier on Friday, with the two sides set to meet again in Stockholm in four days' time.
The Republic of Ireland remain pointless in Euro 2025 qualifying after a 3-0 defeat at home to Sweden.
All guts, no glory at the Aviva Stadium as the Republic of Ireland fell to a 3-0 Euro 2025 qualifier defeat against a tough, silky Sweden on Friday night.
Analysis: When Ireland's WNT meet Sweden tonight, they are meeting the first ever champions of the European competition in 1984
Republic of Ireland midfielders Denise O'Sullivan and Ruesha Littlejohn are out of tonight’s Euro 2025 qualifier against Sweden at the Aviva Stadium.
Nishant Dev (71kg) became the first Indian male pugilist to secure a Paris Games quota when he reached the semifinals of the Boxing Olympic qualifiers on Friday. The world championships bronze medalist, who had narrowly missed on an Olympic berth in the previous qualifiers, earned the quota after defeating Vasile Cebotari of Moldova 5-0 in the quarterfinal which was a battle of the southpaws. It is India's fourth quota place with women boxers Nikhat Zareen (50kg), Preet Pawar (54kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) having already secured their passage to Paris. The 71kg weight class had five quotas on offer. Dev, who has been dominant all tournament, was off to a flyer, landing sharp, accurate punches. The Indian was more composed and used his punches judiciously.
India's quest for booking a quota in the women's 60kg ended with Ankushita Boro 2-3 defeat against Agnes Alexiusson of Sweden in the quarter-finals of the Boxing World Olympic Qualifiers here on Friday. The 23-year-old Boro fought hard but her Swedish opponent, a former European Games bronze medallist, dug into her reservoir of experience to pip the Indian. Boro, a former youth world champion, was slow off the blocks, but managed to adapt toward the end of the first round, using straight jabs effectively. It was enough to convinced one judge.
If there is a flip side to the Republic of Ireland playing at the Aviva Stadium, it's that the slick Lansdowne Road venue is too nice.
