Slovenia 4-0 Republic of Ireland: Carla Ward’s side suffer defeat in Koper
The Republic of Ireland went down to a 4-0 defeat by a clinical Slovenia side in their second Uefa Nations League game.
The hosts led 3-0 at the break thanks to ruthless finishing as they cut through the Irish defence and capitalised on their chances.
Slovenia struck after just three minutes with Lara Prasnikar firing past Courtney Brosnan and into the top corner.
The striker flicked in at the near-post to double the lead before Zara Kamsar added the third with a close-range finish.
The visitors dominated the second half but failed to find the net again until substitute Nina Kajzba blasted home after 82 minutes in a rare Slovenia attack.
Denise O’Sullivan went closest for the Irish by hitting the crossbar a minute later on what was a frustrating night for the team.
Carla Ward started her reign as Republic of Ireland manager with a win over Turkey on Friday night but she have much to ponder after this disappointing performance.
