The Irish lost 2-1 to Canada on Wednesday despite taking the
lead in the game.
McCabe curled in the opening goal directly from the corner
in the fourth minute.
However, the Canadians levelled thanks to an own goal from
Megan Connolly, before grabbing the winner eight minutes after the break
through Adriana Leon.
Canada go top of Group B with four points after they drew
their first fixture against Nigeria.
Co-hosts Australia are second with three points, ahead of
tomorrow’s clash with the Super Falcons who have only one point.
