爱尔兰女足总比分12比0横扫哈萨克斯坦 12月与波兰争夺世界杯门票
据BBC体育报道，爱尔兰共和国女足在女足世界杯附加赛半决赛中以两回合总比分12比0淘汰哈萨克斯坦，晋级附加赛决赛。首回合爱尔兰在阿斯塔纳8比0大胜；10月13日（周二）在科克的帕里克·乌伊·科伊姆球场（Páirc Uí Chaoimh），主教练卡拉·沃德（Carla Ward）的球队再以4比0取胜。爱尔兰队在该球场的战绩至此为四战全胜。
决赛对手是波兰队：波兰与比利时两回合战成3比3，最终通过点球大战4比3胜出。决赛次回合将于12月在都柏林的阿维瓦体育场（Aviva Stadium）举行。爱尔兰与波兰在本次预选赛中同处A2组并不陌生：今年4月14日，爱尔兰在格但斯克3比2险胜波兰；四天后在都柏林以1比0再胜，中场玛丽莎·谢瓦（Marissa Sheva）打入制胜球，那场比赛的观众超过18,200人。波兰队在国际足联排名中比爱尔兰低七位，正寻求队史首次打进世界杯。
沃德表示，她不会用2024年12月在阿维瓦体育场欧洲杯附加赛负于威尔士的经历来激励球队：「我们从那以后已经走出了很远。我希望你们在下个窗口期再也不要提威尔士了——忘了它吧。」她同时表示，波兰队会想要「复仇」，球队需要「迄今为止最大的主场观众」来帮助过关，并称球队阵容深度和内部竞争正在增强。
Ireland Women Cruise Past Kazakhstan 12-0 on Aggregate to Reach World Cup Play-off Final Against Poland
The Republic of Ireland women's football team beat Kazakhstan 4-0 in Cork on Tuesday to complete a 12-0 aggregate victory in their Women's World Cup play-off semi-final, BBC Sport reported. After an 8-0 first-leg win in Astana, Carla Ward's side won the return at Páirc UíChaoimh, where Ireland's record now stands at played four, won four.
Ireland will face Poland in the play-off final, with the second leg at Dublin's Aviva Stadium in December. Poland edged out Belgium 4-3 on penalties after their tie finished 3-3 over two legs. The two sides were paired in qualifying Group A2 and know each other well: Ireland won 3-2 in Gdańsk on April 14 and 1-0 in Dublin four days later, when midfielder Marissa Sheva scored the winner in front of a crowd of over 18,200 at the Aviva. Poland, who sit seven places behind Ireland in the FIFA rankings, are seeking a first World Cup appearance.
Ward said she will not use the Euro 2025 play-off defeat by Wales at the Aviva in December 2024 as fuel for her players. "We've come a long way since then. I ask you lot to never mention Wales again in the next window — let's forget about it. It would be great if you could," she said. She added that Poland will be targeting "revenge," that the team needs "our biggest crowd yet" in December, and that the squad now has depth and competition for places.
