Simone Magill is set to lead Northern Ireland in their attempt to defeat Norway and secure a place in the Euro 2025 finals. Despite being heavy underdogs against the star-studded Norwegian team, Magill and her teammates are determined to create new memories and equal their 2011 victory.
"They are some great memories, but we're trying to create some new memories so why can't we go and spoil the party?"
With their star-studded squad, Norway are huge favourites to come through over two legs against Tanya Oxtoby's youthful side, who are going through something of a transition."You look at underdog stories and we have our very own against this very team. Norway, who introduced teenage Ada Hegerberg and Caroline Graham Hansen off the bench, pulled one back when Isabell Herlovsen netted before Rachel Furness secured the win late on.
In fact, only seven of those 11 featured in the opening match with Norway, which was Northern Ireland's first at a major tournament. "The message is to control what we can control. That's how we apply ourselves in the game," she added.
