Mixed emotions for Katie McCabe after historic point

It was a mixture of pride and frustration for Ireland captain Katie McCabe as she spoke to RTÉ Sport following her side's draw with Nigeria at the World Cup.

It was a first ever point at the World Cup as they exited the tournament with two defeats and today's scoreless stalemate.

But McCabe felt that they could have taken more from the game at Lang Park in Brisbane.

"We spoke at the start [about wanting] to star the game with a lot of energy," she said.

"To be calm, composed and patient in our defensive work. To have a lot of the possession was really good, it was just about utilising it in the right areas.

"We did create some good opportunities and it was disappointing that we didn't capitalise on it. But, yeah, I was really proud of it, and for Courtney to make that world class save at the end to help get us the point was really good."

Katie McCabe just misses the target as Ireland go close early on against Nigeria
