It guarantees Ireland a place in next October’s direct Olympic qualifiers and they can strengthen their case for a crucial home date if they win Sunday’s final. Ireland survived two chances in that phase but soon started to carve openings with Deirdre Duke and Anna O’Flanagan going close. Three minutes later, Zoe Wilson’s shot from another corner variation took a heavy defensive deflection and Ireland were 2-0 up. He started the scoring in the second minute before the Scots fought back to level at 1-1 soon after. But Shane O’Donoghue and Magee put daylight between the sides and Michael Robson made the game safe with 20 minutes to go.
